How we ensure Development!
We are introducing a new developmental scheme in which all Junior player's will be graded either Bronze, Silver and Gold. This will help player's better understand how to improve and give them direction on what to improve on to reach the next level. This also helps parents sunderstand where there child is at to which allows parents to better help their development to the next stage.
