Hi Luke,

The schools are the best way to go.  I think one of the important parts is what is done in the schools.  The second part is what is on offer for them when they get to the club.  I have found that now you need to put in a sustained effort in the schools before you can get juniors to come to the club.

It would be interesting to know how big your community is because this often makes a difference.  Let me know and we can discuss this further as it is an important topic.
