Our Head Coach will appraise the level of every player. Players may move up, down or from Pathway to Performance Centre or visa-versa. Usually changes will be made before the new term sessions begin and are discussed with both player and parents. Some players can remain in the same squad for a season or more before moving to another squad. Please ask about your son or daughter if you require clarification on their performance in their respective squad.

We have a total of 13 squads within the BJBA Pathway and Performance Centre. Training sessions are run during the week and at weekends depending on the squad.

The squads are broken up into two sections PERFORMANCE and PATHWAY and are shown on the list on the side of this page.

Our Performance Centre squads are by invitation and train 2 nights each week with a match play evening as well.

Pathway squads train once a week with the option of a match play evening.
