The Bears performed a review of the 2021 program and we found the following worked well
- The concept from MFA to increase the skill levels at local clubs.
- The buy in from Bradbury Bears assisted the team to feel supported in the concept and program.
- The club ran the program in an inclusive manner and at a minimal cost to families.
- Training sessions focused on the four key skills during each session and both training and games looked like football.
We have also looked at improvements that can be made and are working towards implementing changes to enhance the program to ensure its success.
