Coaching

Coaching is critical to the way that we develop and improve players and we have a coaching structure at club, regional and national level to support all levels of players. No matter how inexperienced or experienced you are in the sport, there is always an opportunity to learn. Technique, tactics and mental approach can all be coached, and the PE network of coaches is on hand to help. Don’t be shy in asking for coaching input, that’s what our coaches are here to do!
