Bunnies Academy

September - December

The Bunnies Academy provides a foundation for skill development and game understanding.

Players are grouped by age and ability, with targeted training each Sunday morning at David Phillips Fields.

All Academy players also compete in our Term 4 Junior Competition on Tuesday afternoons at Heffron Park, applying what they’ve learned, in real game situations.

To help them get the most out of the program, each player will receive a Bunnies Academy training shirt and their own touch football.

We wrap up this phase with a Gala Day on Sunday 21 December at Gwawley Park, a fun celebration of growth, effort, and community.

  • Eligibility: Players born 2008–2020

  • Cost: $250 per player (due upon registration)

  • Registration: Now open (closes 30 September 2025)

December - March

For players showing strong performance, commitment, and potential during the Bunnies Academy, there is an opportunity to trial for the UNSW South Sydney Rabbitohs representative teams, who compete at the NSW Southern Conference Junior State Cup, one of the premier junior touch football tournaments in the country.

This phase requires an even higher level of dedication, with players committing not only to training but also to team culture and club representation.

It has a highly competitive selection process, with only one team per age group entered.

Along with this intense competition, participants can look forward to a great experience, with social events and a supportive environment designed to foster team spirit and personal growth.
