Thanks to the hard work of our chief coach, Patrick Wuertz, and his coaching assistants, our Junior Program is really flourishing. I counted 21 participants last Thursday night and that is with a number absent. Patrick and Paul have been assisted at times by a number of other coaches – Jayde Treloar, Joel Carpenter, Zac Difabrizio, Akash Mehta, Paul Green and Gary Kiorgaard.
The program has been administered by Teresa Johnston whose input has been crucial in its success. Numbers are increasing all the time and a number of the older participants are now playing fixtures and entering tournaments with increasing success.
No doubt the Junior Program will continue to boom next year.
