All of the participants were surprised at the ease with which they were able to pick up the rudimentary aspects of the game and spoke about their plans to implement in their schools as soon as possible. They also were enthusiastic that they were actually leaving with equipment and balls which could Jumpstart the program.
The GGA welcomed the response and pledged it’s support for ongoing provision of additional equipment, balls, tournaments, trophies and training to ensure that the program continues its successful growth.
