High Performance Program

The High performance program works in conjunction with the Player development program at the same cost. Similar curriculum is followed with slight variations to the progressions. Players are also selected to this program based on ongoing evaluations throughout the program. During the year we will form teams from participants in the High Performance player group to play in selected tournaments.
