The award winning Sport and Rugby Institue can accommodate any Sporting Code and offers world class facilities 

INDOOR TRAINING ROOM

Central to the complex is the 33 x 16 mtr indoor training area, known as the green room, with a 12 mtr high ceiling and specifically constructed synthetic turf surface.  The field turf surface has been designed to create an artificial surface which duplicates the playing conditions of real grass.

The turf is perfect for any sporting codes (Rugby, Hockey, Football but to name a few) training sessions.  Ideal for beep tests and circuit training.

Hired on an hourly basis - $60.00phr

EMERSION POOLS & RECOVERY ROOM

The recovery room and emersion pools ensure athletes receive top quality care.  Two physio tables and emergency equipment, an ice making maching, TV  and video are housed in the recovery Room. 

Both hot (38degrees) and cold (12 degrees) pools allow total body immersion for effective lactic acid removal post exercise.

The cold pool constricts blood vessels and flushes waste products, like lactic acid, out of affected tissues, and helps to reduce swelling and tissue breakdown.  The hot pool increases blood flow and speeds circulation, and in turn, improves the healing process.

Team Hire - $30.00 per half hour session
