- SFHA will work with you to set up the best time
frame to run a clinic between the months of Jan
2007- until the middle of March 2007. - Most
schools will book a full day, and have teachers
sign up their classes according to class blocks
(Minimum of 45 minutes) assigned for the
clinic. - SFHA would like to target grades 4 to
6. - Ideally SFHA likes to see each class twice,
one class to introduce the basics and one class
to play a game.
