What is the Elite Development Programme (EDP)?

Selected players are immersed in a best-versus-best training and competition environment that supports the development of future senior internationals. The programme is delivered by senior international coaches and some of the best coaches from across the country. Training days focus on developing highly skilled players who can consistently execute under pressure. A competition environment for the U21s and U23s provides the toughest possible international competition with series and tournaments against the best European and sub-continent sides.
