Juveniles
U6: Our U6 boys and girls had a good outing last Sunday and everyone had fun learning their skills.
We only have 1 week of academy left & possibly a surprise visit on the last session so all are welcome to come & join in for fun & fitness.
U8: The bright weather of last Sunday morning provided a fitting atmosphere for our enthusiastic under-8 group of boys and girls. Running, jumping, catching and hand passing were the key activities for the session with everyone putting great effort into improving their skills. All the new players who have recently joined from the under-6 squad have brought a new level of energy and enthusiasm to the sessions. Back after a break was Chloe who showed that she hasn’t lost any of her sparkle or ability to the extent that she took home the player of the week trophy….so well done to Chloe.
Next week will be our last academy session for 2018 so we hope that all of our young players will be able to participate in this session.
U10: Our U10’s resumed training last Sunday morning with a good turnout. Well done to the kids who attended. Training resumes this Sunday at 10.30am as it is the last session for the year, it is important that all turn up for training.
