Academy & Tournament Selection:

In our academy we work off a 1:12 player to coach ratio. It is important to note that players are NOT selected on a first come first served basis.
Confidence is one of the most important elements in an player’s development, and within our training methodology it is important that the players train and play with players of similar ability. We do not categorise the players by age groups (u11-u12), we view them practically on their application, social competence, game intelligence and ability within the group. If selected for the academy, players MAY change groups from time to time. It is important for both the players and parents to accept this as part of our Academy structure.
The coaches make decisions to the best of their ability on where a player lies at the time of selection. We fully understand as coaches, that where a players level is now, is not a reflection of where they may be in 1 month, or 1 years’ time. We do our upmost to offer coaching to all players in one of our academy nights, but accept that this may not be logistically possible.
