More than hitting the target

This workshop gives juniors an opportunity to practise:

Focus and concentration: listening carefully and paying attention to each attempt.

Coordination and control: working on balance, timing and accuracy.

Patience and persistence: learning from missed throws and making gradual improvements.

Responsible behaviour: respecting equipment, following instructions and working within clear boundaries.
