Coaching Team
Our coaching team is made up of a nucleus of several coaches, particularly ones who have been coaching successfully at the club previously and who are very popular with the children. We also have the privilege to invite ‘guest’ coaches to run specialist blocks and provide an innovative and fresh approach especially to our older junior players and adult classes.
