Our Coaches

Our coaches are very experienced & love a challenge, but we do not expect every child to be fully involved at first or even after a term. We first must let the Peedie Pro’s get use to their Big new & challenging environment. Once the environment & coaches are familiar, we build confidence which takes time, patience & loads of experience.
