The successful candidate will be responsible for the development and implementation of a world-class and transformative player development programme, to produce female players who upon departing the LUNTA meet the Pro Scholarship Programme (PSP) selection criteria and have potential to be inside the women’s top 100-ranked players, by nurturing the player, performer and person.
