Club Training

The training sessions every other Sunday at Mapplesden Noakes school are met with enthusiasm from all those that attend and yet again there was a good turn out.

Once again the website and network have worked well together and we were delighted to welcome yet another new person to training last Sunday, wishing to play for Cobdown Ladies.

These sessions focus on the real youngsters (9 - 13) who have their own regular coach, to the more experienced players, with training routines designed to include all abilities.

We have at least 3 coach's at each training session who are happy to spend time with groups or on an individual basis. We enjoy seeing continued improvement in players skills and awareness and the fact that there many regulars shows these sessions work.

Any new players are able to meet and talk to players from of all the sides as each team is always well represented with either the captain or vice-captain in attendance.

Suggestions from players are always welcome and factored into the next available training plan whenever possible.

So please pluck up your courage and enthusiasm and come and joins us on Sunday 20 February at Mapplesden Noakes School.

See you there!!
