New players are always welcome.
U8/U10/GIRLS
We had 25 girls training on Sunday last and it was a really great session. The coaches have noticed huge improvements from both u8 and u10 girls.
The girls worked on a kicking drill and then straight into hand passing which came into use straight away during their game.
The girls were due to play Churchill on Wednesday last but was postponed due to bad weather conditions.
The coaches are working hard to get the girls as many game time as possible, so stayed tuned for further details.
