SPECIALISED COACHING
AT MERCHISTON

 

Specialised Coaching is offered at Merchiston to extend our boys’ skill, speed and endurance in various sporting disciplines. This is run after extra-mural sport and is designed to give individual or small group instruction to boys in their sport of choice. It is run privately and parents can elect to sign their son up for this level of sport should they wish. Every coaching session is meticulously planned and well-executed to ensure our boys reap the full benefits, which include being challenged and extended, growing their love for their chosen sport, engaging in fun and learning from top-level coaches.
