P1 Trials
At the end of every year, HPPA works with the school to organize trials to select talented P1s. Selected P1s will be invited to join a special training every Saturday at 8am-10am at the HPPS Indoor Sports Hall. This training will be conducted by the school coach with her team of instructors with the purpose of grooming talent for future school teams. It does not guarantee that the child will make the school team, but starting earlier would definitely put the child in a better position to do so.
