Selection process

We host trials over a 3 week period to select 15-20 boys and 15-20 girls in each age group. Our ultimate aim is to have this number to allow elite style coaching building raw talent and progressing into achievement. We like to have a good coach to player ratio to allow that attention to detail coaching. Development groups for all become available for all the players after the trials period finishes.
