Training is on a Sunday morning 11.15am – 12.45pm. There is also a weekday training session for the A squads and an extended performance group. Over the first few weeks, we will be assessing all the players in this age group and will sorting you into the A squad, the performance training group and the Tropics development group. For the first few weeks, both Thursday and Sunday training sessions are available to you all.
