Put simply, it's a little complicated to start with, so keep up because here goes...
Due to under-recruitment at certain age groups there are early season opportunities for some players to train twice a week in the midweek sessions. However, for most, this will only last until the end of October.
CUBS Training (U11s / Year 6 & U12s / Year 7)
(every Tuesday from 7:30 to 8:30pm - FULL COURT)
STARTS ---> Tuesday, 5th September 2017
Please arrive at 7:20 and be ready to start training at 7:30pm
This training session is short of players due to some year 7s training on a Thursday night. Also, we are awaiting the start of the new school year before starting a recruitment campaign for year 6 players from the local primary schools.
SENIORS Training (U17s / Years 10, 11 & 12)
(every Tuesday from 8:30 to 9:30pm - FULL COURT)
STARTS ---> Tuesday, 5th September 2017
Please arrive at 8:20 and be ready to start training at 8:30pm
Due to the current low returns from last season's U16s squad this seasons year 10s have been invited along to make best use of the full court.
TOTS Training (U10s / Years 4 & 5)
(selected Wednesdays from 6:30 to 7:15pm - HALF COURT)
STARTS ---> Wednesday, TBC October 2017
Please arrive at 6:20 and be ready to start training at 6:30pm
The start date for this session is yet to be decided. It will be run in batches of four or five weeks at a time and will be centred solely of skills (shooting, passing, rebounding and dribbling) and fun games/drills.
MISH-MOSH Training (U13s / Year 8 & U14s / Year 9)
(every Wednesday from 7:00 to 8:30pm - HALF COURT)
STARTS ---> Wednesday, 6th September 2017
Please arrive at 6:50 and be ready to start training at 7:00pm
This training session will be for year 8 and year 9 players (although some others will be invited if the coaches believe that they require additional skills training).
JUNIORS Training (U13s / Year 8)
(every Thursday from 7:30 to 8:30pm - FULL COURT)
STARTS ---> Thursday, 7th September 2017
Please arrive at 7:20 and be ready to start training at 7:30pm
There will be a number of year 7 players training in this session. This is because either they are part of the YBL U13s squad or otherwise unable to attend the Tuesday night Cubs training session. There may also be a few year 9 joining in to improve their basic skill levels before jumping into the later Inters session at 8pm.
INTERS Training (U15s / Years 10 & 9)
(every Thursday from 8:30 to 9:30pm @ Ledbury Leisure Centre - FULL COURT)
STARTS ---> Thursday, 7th September 2017
Please arrive at 7:50 and be ready to start training at 8:00pm
This training session originally overlapped the Juniors training session before it. This is now NOT the case. Players are to turn up for 8:15pm for a debrief/external to sports hall warm-up.
- All sessions are held at Ledbury Leisure Centre (the sports hall at John Masefield High School)
- Bring a bottle of water
- Any valuables (such as mobile telephones) are brought along at owner's own risk.
So there it is... all you still with us?
