Program Focus, Principles & Philosophy

Our competitive programs are designed for committed players who enjoy training and seek to further their game! Our focus is to develop the individual within a team environment. We aim to provide the tools for players to be able to enjoy the sport at this level or elevate their game towards the performance stream. One of our goals at the Club has been to develop our programming so we can provide all levels of play here in Cochrane.

  • Holistic Development

We focus on developing all 4-corners of holistic development and strive to design activities where all 4 corners are present in each activity/game through creative conditions and challenges.

  • Training will be appropriate for everyone

We design and tailor our sessions to the level and mindset of the player. This means we can adapt/adjust each session to ensure every child’s needs are met. We understand it is imperative to provide individual feedback and challenges, so all players are engaged.

  • Competitive will be Accessible

We will strive to provide every child who wishes to play competitively the opportunity to do so and will ensure that barriers to the sport do not prevent you from participating.
