Hi, I’m Phoebe Clark. I’m raising funds to attend the 2026 U15 New Zealand Rugby 7’s Development Tour from Saturday 28 November to Saturday 5 December 2026.

I care deeply about rugby because it has helped me build confidence, resilience, teamwork and friendships. I began playing with the Jindabyne Bush Piglets in the Under 10s and have continued developing through club and representative rugby with Jindabyne, Tuggeranong Vikings, Monaro South Coast, the Brumbies Under 14 representative team and South Australia.

The tour will give me the opportunity to compete in the NZ Condor U15 National Rugby Seven’s Tournament in Tauranga, play warm-up matches, train with local and regional schools, and learn from experienced coaches and team managers. I will also experience a high-performance rugby environment and bring the skills and knowledge I gain back to my teams and community.

The total tour cost is $4,295 AUD. I plan to make this opportunity possible by fundraising through the Australian Sports Foundation, with support from my family, friends, local community and businesses. Donations will help cover flights, accommodation, meals, transport, tournament entry, training activities and tour kit.

Every contribution, big or small, will help me take part in this tour and continue developing as a player, teammate and young person. Thank you for supporting my rugby journey.
