CMTA is pleased to confirm our first lot of Team Coaching & Management appointments for the upcoming 2020-21 National season.
Our aim was to recruit and appoint earlier this season, in an attempt to better prepare our province for a big season post Covid-19’s first lockdown period. The challenge of coordinating a National Tournament in Christchurch for our Open and Masters grades also meant getting a head start was crucial.
