Personally I would never agree up-front to work solo, insurance liability would be massive if there is an incident. That said, if I turned up and my partner(s) did not and both coaches were happy I...

Looks good, but it is cheaply made and looks bad really quickly (pulls and runs in the fabric). The rumour is that we will get a new version this year (third new design in 5 years...)

I think I would deal with the game as any other, every game deserves our best so that is what we will do.

I would always give an extra second on a display that...

I use the Reebok Ref, both patent and plain, rotating them each game / series of games. Being honest, the plain ones hold a smooth, non glare, shine better than the patent.
