The future of our sport lies with our juniors and events like these are a wonderful opportunity for our future World Champions to learn the sport on an international level. In the following weeks we will be holding fundraisers to help fund team expenses; dog transport, uniforms, travel, etc. Team supporter shirts will be available on our website as well as other opportunities to help support the team.
