In order to keep fit and healthy, or to compete, to win the club championship or be a nationally ranked player or even becoming an Academy Player competing at international events. Through this very individual sport students develop valuable skills and mental strength. At Preston we want to build on a team environment where additionally players can feel part of something special.
