National team planning for 2025
2023 saw Y&H put a team in to the national team competition for the first time in a long time.
Would you or players at your club be interested in forming a team to represent Y&H in the 2025 national teams championships?
Maybe you'd like to be involved with supporting the trip as a coach / team manager?
Players should be competing at national level, coaches producing players to a good competitive level.
