This is a new initiative and there have not been any guidelines established in regards to what is expected of each player. This will be decided by each Head Coach as to how he gets the best results from those allocated to his age level. The following are details about the each age group and as agreed this program is to skick off at training on Sunday 16th March. The details of the training sessions and each of the Head Coaches are: The following is the email sent to each of the Big V players by Mike as to what was being asked of them.

 * Hi everyone,**
 * Well here we go….. Based on your requests and the need to ensure every team & group was covered I have assigned the following people to the following teams or group as in the case with the U18s.**
 * The proposed alignments are:**
 * ** 12-1 **
 * ** 12-2 **
 * ** 12-3 **
 * ** 12-4 **
 * ** 14-1 **
 * ** 14-2 **
 * ** 14-3 **
 * ** 14-4 **
 * ** 16-1 **
 * ** 16-2 **
 * ** 16-3 **
 * ** 18 **
 * I’d like each of small group to meet with their team over the next few weeks, have chat to the players, get to know the coach & team manager. Introduce yourselves, talk about our games and how we’d love to see them attend. After this it would be great if you could talk to the coach about dropping in once a fortnight to give them a hand with a drill or something. This would allow each group to have one person visit their team once a month by alternating who goes each fortnight. It is important initially that we make sure the players know who you are and that you are interested in seeing them come out and watch.**
 * After the April, I would suggest we will start doing things doing some skills work at an age group level rather than team level. However I would like to see you maintaining contact with the team on a fortnightly basis – even if it is dropping in to say hello or going to one of their games and sitting on the bench with them.**
 * We need their support at games and we need to show there is a pathway to senior from juniors whilst promoting each of our games.**
