This is a DEVELOPMENT program that provides a “Learn to Play” skills session, followed by a miniball game also focusing on ‘learning whilst playing’. This is one of our more popular programs and there are limited places – get in soon and make sure you bring your friends. 

As players develop their skills they are encouraged to progress to our regular domestic competition.  This is done in consultation with parents and children.
