TTI is currently catering for the reemergence of a newly structured Hopes & Development Programme, starting with the annual Hopes Trials to be held on the 28th of September. The idea is for clubs to nominate forward 2 boys and 2 Girls born on or after 1st January 2014 or later to take part in these Hopes Trials in a bid to be selected for the Hopes Squad. The squad will then have a bi-monthly training sessions with their assigned National Coach. After Christmas the squad will be reassessed and dependent on results/attendance at TTI ranking tournaments, results/attendance at squad trainings and development of traits mentioned below players will retain their place in the squad for the second half of the season or new players will be introduced should certain players not being meet the required levels of performance and commitment.
Selections will be made based on more than just individual performance in the tournament at the Hopes Trials. Overall levels of technique, fitness, coordination, balance, training ability, match play ability, attitude, focus, overall potential and more will be taken into consideration on the day and for the selection of the Hopes Squad.
Club Coaches will be welcome to stay for the duration of the day and get involved in the trials camp by means of sparring, multi ball training or just their own observation of the camp and tournament. No coaching will be allowed in the matches during the tournament.
