"I can see that with the best available coaching and support, these boys are developing at a very fast rate. They are all technically good enough to play at a very high level. If they have the desire and discipline to work hard my aim will be to help them reach that level.
I am especially pleased to know that we still have some of the boys from the Warren Road days who I have now coached for about 9 years."

Yes - better pitches mean a better chance to develop technique/skills
No - wouldn't make any real difference to development
Maybe - but I'd be worried about more injuries on firm pitches
