DEVELOPMENT SQUAD

The Development Squad is a training week for those aged 18+ who have moved on from coming as a young person or are coming to experience Sports Plus for the first time as a young adult. It has been designed for those playing sport regularly in a club or team; to help develop their understanding of the Christian faith, leadership potential at Sports Plus and help them to live out being a Christian in their sport.
