CSA Wayne's JUNIOR ROOTS program is designed for players looking to progress and make the step to team play in the future.

Combining a focus on individual technical development within our practice sessions during the week, and then providing the opportunity to learn the habits and movements relating to the game through 3v3/4v4 play, provides a fantastic foundation which will help enhance the future development.
