Stinger say’s “I'm excited and honoured to continue working with our female youth, providing a supportive platform for them to develop in all avenues of the game.”

“We are looking forward to rolling out the new open clinic concept this year enabling us to provide a more inclusive development programme. Taking down barriers and creating a larger base for selection into national programmes is a key goal.

We need to ensure all our athletes have coaching opportunities so they can develop at their own rate and continue in the game,” Stringer said.
