Team Manager training
Team Manager training is designed to ensure any volunteers who are taking groups of athletes to competition or camps, locally or abroad, are fully equipped to do their role. The face to face workshop is recommended for anyone aged 16yrs or over. It should be noted that an individual cannot take the role of a Team Manager fully until they turn 18yrs.
