No. We do not play in leagues, we rather play selected friendlies. These matches are recorded with high-quality A.I. cameras and serve as the base for the players own performance assessment and the coaches performance feedback.

Q. WHAT IF A PLAYER GETS INJURED?
If a player gets injured, he still trains. We will put him onto a program where he will not utilize that part of the body that is injured, monitor his progress and ease him back into full training, with the direction of the specialist if it's a serious injury.
Q. WHAT IF THE WEATHER IS BAD?
Other than in lightening conditions we continue to train. If necessary we utilise the gym or do a tactical board session, but mornings are rarely disrupted.
