Summary• Proposed approach builds on success of last season.
• Maintaining volunteer commitment and momentum from last season is key.
• Key factors for success are:– Getting cluster clubs signed up to the concept;– Working with clubs and host venues to make the competition work;– Having enough coaches and referees willing to commit their time.
