With regards to training, we have maintained our Tuesday night slot at Horntye, but are not able to add an additional night. The Bexhill slot is now Wednesdays rather than Mondays. Goalkeeper coaching will move to Bexhill instead of Horntye. Times and Teams as follows:
Horntye AstroTurf -Tuesdays:
6.30pm to 7.45pm - Juniors
7.45pm to 9pm - L1, L2, M4, M5
Bexhill Academy AstroTurf -Wednesdays:
8.00pm - 9.30pm - M1, M2, GKs
We are aware that M3 is not included in the above. The thought is that the players in M3 that are on an upward trajectory can at the discretion of captains train with M1/M2, and those that are solid in the M3s can train with the M4 slot. Note M3's should not attend both Tuesday and Wednesday Sessions. We are aware that numbers are low in terms of turnout to training for M3 so this hopefully should not cause any issues.
We understand that the Tuesday nights can be a bit of a squeeze. The hope is that the move of the keeper coaching to the other evening will help mitigate that. In addition.
In terms of dates, the Tuesday night 7.45-9.00 Summer 'pay and play' sessions will continue through to the end of August.
1st Sept (& 2nd at Bexhill) - Captain-led session, to get everyone back in to the routine, remember how to hold a stick and a bit of a fitness session.
8th Sept (& 9th at Bexhill) - Juniors restart and Formal Coaching begins.
With games starting earlier this season, we felt it was important to get going as early as possible in September, but are also conscious of coaching availability.
Hopefully the addition of the captain-led week at the start will help get everyone back in to the swing of things in time for the games.
