Communication:

We are insisting this year to platform all communications through a Whatsapp portal.
This will be set up as a group to receive information regarding anything going on in the club instantly. In order to safeguard the junior’s, we will insist on the parent/guardian’s number. The application is free to download and runs off wi-fi or mobile data which incurs no cost. If there is any reason the academy can not run on a certain day there will be a message put out on the WhatsApp group
