RUGBY league personality Mario Fenech was among the coaches at the Macquarie Sports Kids to Kangaroos coaching clinic in Kellyville Park on July 14-16.
The clinics, for boys and girls aged 5-12, teach catching and passing, scoring tries, kicking, tagging activities and tackling bags.
The kids also get to take part in rugby league lead-up games.
Fenech talked with the kids about the benefits of playing rugby league and keeping active.
``Kids aren't shy they all know who he [Mario Fenech] is,'' said Parramatta Eels development officer Mitch Krahe, who organised the camp.
Krahe said Fenech also stressed the importance of junior development and attending coaching clinics.
``One thing he did bring up was that he played in five grand finals and never won one,'' Krahe said.
``The kids thought that was pretty funny.''
