By Brent Matehaere | Posted: Wednesday May 3, 2017

Congratulations to Year 10 student Michael Ruske who has been selected to the NZ Under 16 Select team that will compete at the Medibank Classic in Melbourne, Australia from the 8 - 13 June.

Michael has been selected after eight months of talent identification and attending numerous national camps in Auckland.

He will attend two more training camps in Auckland before departing for Melbourne. The NZ A team and Select teams have been selected from the top players in the under 16 age group and this places Michael in the High Performance group that will lead onto more opportunities to represent NZ at the Oceania, Asia and World Championships over the next four years.
