UNDER 15 PDP

DURATION AND STRUCTURE OF PROGRAMME

The PDP runs annually from October - May (October 6th 2025 - May 11th 2026). There will be weekly 2 hour training sessions (including fitness training) and some occasional weekend county match play. Each year we try and arrange some specialist Strength & Conditioning sessions (S&C) and where possible a guest speaker e.g. sports psychologist or nutritionist or guest coaches. At the end of the programme we have a mixed age PDP mini-tournament and presentation evening.

In accepting a place all players are expected to commit totally to the PDP programme and non-attendance may jeopardise a player’s place in the PDP. We expect all players to:

attend training on a Monday evening and
fulfil elements of the training programme at home during the week e.g. ball and wall work, shooting practise, strength and conditioning fitness.
