Players or parents with any queries about squad training issues, should discuss directly with the coach in charge of those squads.

Injuries
In case of any injury or physical discomfort, please discuss with your private coach first. If you are not working privately with a coach, then follow up with the coach in charge of your squad session. He will arrange with the Academy manager for your injury to be assessed by Academy Remedial Masseur, Nick McCallum, who will advise on further treatment options.

Player Reports
Short term Academy players will receive a written report at the end of their training period. Full time players will take part in Video Reports every two months. For 2009 video reports will be available at the end of February, April, June, August, October & December. Parents are welcome to discuss their child’s progress with their private coach or squad coach at any time in between reporting periods, and are encouraged to check in with coaches on a regular basis.

Tournament Schedule
Please discuss you tournament plan for 2009 with your private coach. If you don’t have a private coach, then see the coach in charge of your squad session for advice. Once your plan has been arranged, the Academy manager will ensure you receive appropriate entry forms for each event. Those players who need transportation and supervision can arrange with the Academy manager one week prior to the event.

Video Analysis
Players can receive video analysis sessions as part of their private coaching program – approximately every few months. Full-time squad session players will take part in match analysis on a regular basis, and review work may be completed during rain sessions. Players can request their tournament matches to be videotaped for events held at the Academy. For further details and costs on this, please see the Academy manager.
