Athletes will be encouraged to compete in competitions if they wish and we offer additional support to said athletes to ensure they are ready for competition day in whatever event(s) they choose to compete in.

We also encourage athletes to specialize in events when ready but not before they are 13 years old. Event specialist sessions are by invitation only once an athlete has shown potential either in attitude and/or ability.
