Developing Performance Group
Our developing performance group holds players who have shown a great potential to become excellent players. Although already good players, the members in this group need further time and development to improve and reach their goals.

Emerging Performance Group
Our emerging performance group contains a handful of players who have the potential to break into full senior competition within the next few years and win tournaments, train in high performance centres and break into England squads.
