Year 11 & 12 Students - Training Policy
Where possible during busy examination and assessment weeks the club will attempt to merge teams into squad training sessions, to ensure that those that are still able to train are able to do so. We do understand the enormous pressures placed on this age group and are trying to accommodate this as much as possible; however, please be very upfront with your coaches and give them as much notice as possible and remember that running around at training might be exactly what you need to help you focus.
