The Coaching philosophy mirrors the personal one of the founding Executive Director. Coaching goes beyond the training mat to teach young athletes that being an ‘elite player’ is a huge responsibility.
An 'elite player' covers attitude at home, academics, and being socially responsible in addition to sport performance.
