Eels Week at UNE
29 January - 3 February 2013
Pre Season Training Camp
You’re invited to the 2013 Parramatta Eels pre-season training camp at the University of New England in Armidale, 29 January – 3 February 2013.
UNE is gearing up to host the Eels Pre-season Training Camp for the second year, after it recently extended its major sponsorship of the team for 2013/14.
The week long camp builds on the relationship between education and sport, as well as offering the Eels the advantage of the first class training facilities that SportUNE has to offer.
Parramatta Eels coach, Ricky Stuart will be in Armidale during the week and there will be opportunities to him at a number of key public events. Knights Head Coach, Wayne Bennett, is unable to be in Armidale due to his commitment as coach of the NRL All Stars team, but the Newcastle Knights will be in good hands with assistant coach Rick Stone guiding them.
You will have the chance to watch the Eels in training, join the team for dinner and attend the trial match where the Parramatta Eels will take on the Newcastle Knights for the first time in 2013!
