learning the fundamentals in a fun based programme.

Children are placed in an age/ability interclub team. Matches are played on Saturdays
(some 15-17 year olds on Friday evenings). Each interclub team has a weekly coaching
session for 45 minutes followed by a 45 minute team practice. These sessions are
a structured programme focusing on all skills and aspects of the game. Sessions
are 1 hour, 30 minute slots from Monday to Friday.
