Dear Team and Supporters,
Just a quick note about our pre-season training plans. This coming season is going to be a tough challenge for us all. Eleven-a-side rules, bigger pitches, bigger goals....you name it. To give us a fighting chance of success from day 1 I want you all to do a few things before we meet up again.
1. Get fitter and stay fitter- I would like you all to think about getting out on your bikes, doing some light jogging with your parents, brothers/sisters and friends (not necessarily all at once), play some sport, go swimming etc etc....you will all be a lot sharper if you can do this over the next month. We will be testing you in the first few training sessions....so be warned!
2. Practise your ball skills- extend yourselves. If you can do 10 keepy uppies.....make sure you can do 10 more by next week. Practise using a tennis ball against the wall.....practise your passing and shooting in the garden (away from the greenhouse!) There is no escape.....practise to improve. My new coaching manual tells me that, on average, elite sportsmen and women require 10,000 hours of practise to reach the top!
I am also pleased to announce that Robin Parkinson has agreed to help me out with coaching the team. I would also like to thank others for their kind offers of help in the coming season.
Finally our first training session will be on Wednesday 25th August. Not everyone will be about, but for those that are....we will meet at Christleton Primary School for 6.30pm (til 7.30pm)
Have a good holiday
Simon
