Hello friends, family, and kind supporters,

We are excited to share that our son, Wil, has been selected in the U17’s Australian Raptors Rugby Academy and will tour Japan in January 2025! This is a fantastic opportunity for him and a testament to his hard work, dedication, and passion for rugby.

About Wil

Wil has been playing rugby since he was five, and it has become more than just a sport to him. Rugby has taught him teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. It has been a source of joy and a driving force in his life. His commitment to the sport is unwavering, and he spends countless hours training and improving his skills.

Rugby in Japan

Competing in Japan is not just about playing rugby; it's about experiencing a different culture, building international friendships, and representing our community on a global stage. This tour will bring together some of the best young rugby players in Australia, providing an invaluable experience that will help Wil grow both as an athlete and as an individual.

Why We Need Your Help

While this opportunity is amazing, it comes with significant costs. The expenses include:

• Travel and accommodation: Flights, hotels, and transportation in Japan.

• Team fees: Insurance, uniforms, and equipment.

• Meals and daily expenses: Ensuring Wil stays healthy and focused throughout the trip.

The total cost of the trip is $10,000, and we need to raise $8000 to make this dream a reality.
