Coach Richard Moon said the six cadets had been training three times a week for up to 11 hours.

“The team will compete in eight events over the three days as well as various activities such as high and low ropes courses, raft building and other team building activities,” he said.

“They get ranked on how quick they do it and whether they follow the safety side.
