From this month, we are asking you to confirm athlete attendance before each training session.
A form will be posted on the WVAC News Whatsapp group the day before each training session. Just let us know by midday of the training session if you / your athlete is coming.
This will help us understand how many athletes are attending and help our coaches plan sessions.
