SHOOTERS, SCORERS AND GOALIE CAMP
Our Shooters, Scorers and Goalie Camp cater for players from 4 – 16. This camp consists of 2 integrated programmes that are a perfect match for each other and a player’s development. This programme is aimed at developing individual skills as well the technical skills of our all participants.
The Shooters, Scorers and Goalie programme will teach each participant numerous shooting and scoring skills.
