Another top quality masterclass session delivered by Glenn Pocknall today.

Our academy students learnt alot more than the technical side of the game today such as how to build the confidence, adapting to different situations and grit you need to crush your goals both on and off the field.

To learn from the best, keep an eye out for future NZCAL sessions to be delivered in Term 3 this year 🏏
