Can a player be dual registered to another team?
We strongly discourage dual registration except for special cases such as the Olympic Development Program, we recommend instead guest playing.

What is the coaching Philosophy?
Provide excellent, well prepared, well executed training and coaching sessions. Give 100% support to every player on a technical, tactical and psychological level. Challenge each player to give their best. Bringing the talents and gifts of all the players together to be executed as one team. Provide a fun environment of friendship and hard work.
