We use a number of qualified Coaching Assistants as required, dependent on the numbers and level of different groups.

We will continue the delivery of the Sunday Junior Coaching, as part of the Membership benefits from your Club. There will also be more options to receive additional coaching during the week, paid on a term by term basis.
