Rufer does offer residential long term programs in Auckland with hosting families for kids from outside Auckland. Whether or not Fitzgerald came from that, do not know.
Rufers marketing position to parents is that he offers what no other NZ program can- substantial contacts abroad he can call on for the right players.
(He's not marketing like other academies do for US uni scholarships, but targeting direct pro deals for talent)
