There are a number of benefits to introducing junior players to your club:

• ensures a regular supply of new members to safeguard the club’s future;
• increases club membership – leading to higher income for the club;
• more volunteers are recruited through parents and carers;
• provides future officials and administrators through mentoring/shadowing existing officers of the club;
• develops existing members - giving them the opportunity to face new challenges, roles & responsibilities;
• provides more competitive opportunities for existing members - intra club events;
• develops competitors/ players from an early age – leading to improved standards;
• raises the club’s profile.
