The P.U.M.A. All STARS is a squad of students accessing the Indomitable Spirit division at domestic tournaments who also wish to take their competitive journey to the next level. Coaching staff are creating opportunities for these students to travel abroad and be supported in entering equivalent divisions in other countries. This allows our members to represent their country in their chosen sport.

We run inclusive squad training sessions open to all ages and abilities in order to prepare for their next performance.

Students who do not wish to compete abroad are still very welcome to come to these inclusive sessions and will receive the same level of help and support with the aim of preparing for their next grading.

The ‘All STARS Squad’ can also offer opportunities to potential competitors who may have a strong desire to compete but through their additional student profile needs, have yet to find a sport that offers this as an option. This is the ‘fast entry to compete’ path. This is normally done through referrals from schools or other professionals bodies but can be done by parents or the student themselves if over 18.
