NEW CAPTAIN AND VICE-CAPTAIN
Cherno Bah and Ceaser Mendy are successfully running the training for me during my absence. They are highly motivated and very keen to do well. They will be running 26 sessions before my return, keeping a record of work done and a record of attendance. They also have to keep the hall clean before and after the training managing the allocation of shuttles and rackets working with the school assistant head. These roles are very important for the development and the success of the sport in Youna.
