We know how many of of young players are chomping at he bit to get back on the pitch and inspired by being able to see GB Men and Women progressing at the Olympics !

Based on positive feedback we're continuing with small group coaching programme for August to give great player:coach ratios to give a real boost ahead of the new season. We've also mixed things up a bit this Summer and based on feedback sessions will now be based around core skill development areas - giving both focus and the chance to really hone the skills and techniques that will benefit all players and all ages !

Sessions will run at the Timperley Sports Club on Tuesday and Thursday and running three types of session at the same regular time to make planning easier ! Sessions will be lead by Albert and Mark and other members of our coaching team depending on numbers.

Sessions will be mixed and subject to numbers booking and coach availability split into boys and girls for the Development and Performance sessions. Players will work with their own gender where numbers permit within the small group.

Performance Group - Age 15 - 18 (and younger if players are training with senior 1st or 2nd teams) - sessions will run 11.00am to 1.00pm - call or message 07810 854197 to enquire for this session as we are currently not taking bookings due to low numbers.

Under 12's Group - Age 8 - 12 - mixed group open to all abilities - session will run 3:45pm to 5.45pm
