The course began last Friday with 53 participants and these were whittled down to 16 players in each category (men’s and women’s junior and girls’ and boys’ youth) after two-and-a-half days of training.
It is hoped they will compete at their respective NORCECA qualification tournaments for the World Championships, which will be a first for the country.
However, despite the potential, HVF are keen to also develop the coaches that work with the players, whilst also maintaining a solid foundation for the grassroots of the game.
