Hitz is a sports based development programme in partnership with Gloucester Rugby.

8 March 2016

Gloucester Rugby Hitz project is a development programme that aims to re-engage young people who are not in education, employment or training (NEET) using sport as its vehicle. The programme is based around Rugby’s core values of teamwork, respect, enjoyment discipline and sportsmanship and all young people entering the programme will be expected to embody these values. We offer young people the chance to gain nationally recognised qualifications and to experience life at the centre of a top level sports club, engaging with professional players and coaches – as they train, play and eat!

You may ask who is Hitz for? Hits is for young people aged 16-18 who have an interest in sport, not necessarily Rugby there is a variety of different sports that are carefully chose for each cohort. There is no minimum qualification level to join Hitz and we are interested in engaging learners from all backgrounds.

Hitz is set out to develop young people and what they achieve is sensational.

My philosophy is if youchoose a job you love; you will never work a day in your life. It’s a beautiful thing that a career working for two great establishments such as Young Gloucestershire and Gloucester Rugby Club allows my passion to come together on Hitz.

Hitz is due to start another cohort on the 11/4/16. So if you missed out on the last team there will be another chance to participate in this amazing programme.
