Method

  • Key objective is to instil correct techniques and teamwork
  • Each session consists of a warm up, coaching of individual and team skills, followed by a game to put the learning into practice
  • 3 to 1 training to match ratio

  • Players graded by age and ability into green (novice), blue (intermediate) and red (advanced) training groups
  • Each player plays one match per month (six per season)
