How training works:-
There are 3 groups created at training:-
Beginners (normally under 9’s)
Intermediates and older beginners (aged between 7 and 13)
Intermediates and advanced (aged between 9 and 16)
Both male and female players train together.
Warm up for 5-10 minutes, split into groups as above. Spend the next 35-40 minutes working on various skills depending on ability and age. The last 10-15 minutes are always finished with a mini game in the groups.
There are between 5 and 7 coaches present at each training session. Gordon Davidson is Level 2 qualified so is in charge of the training schedule. Hayley Johns, the Junior Co-ordinator, is the person to contact with any queries about training, games, registration, feedback etc.
