Players from Year 1 and Year 2 can be mixed within teams. Girls and boys can both play. There are no set positions. MK will provide all resources for the programme, including Junior Coordinators to lead the programme, and all equipment (including balls and bibs). Each weekly session is 45 minutes long and incorporates both a skill development period and a game of two x 8 minute halves. There are four players from each team on the court.
