Academy/Elite October 2024 - school years 9-13 (invitation only)

We are delighted that we have some sessions targeted specifically at our elite/academy players this coming October Half Term. We are fully aware of the physical and mental demands placed on you and, as we have done previously, we will be tailoring what we have to offer with this in mind.
Many of you have met current England/Great Britain and Olympian James Gall (Jamma). We are very excited that he will be with us once again and supporting you both on and off the field.
Jamma is a remarkable individual. Both his approach and outlook to life have undoubtedly contributed to not only his remarkable recovery from a life-threatening injury but also his ability to compete successfully in elite sport. He is fascinating to talk to and credits his sports psychologist with much of his metamorphosis from a rather irascible (but ambitious) teenager to a composed, calm, young man. Jamma will deliver some off-pitch workshops, alongside technical on-pitch training.

There will also be a focus on your physical development and movement patterns, delivered by our specialised conditioning coaches. Our ability to move efficiently, whatever sport we play, enables improved performance. We will ensure this continues to be a thread throughout our sessions as we know from experience the hugely positive impact this makes, not least our ability to stay injury free.
For those players that wish to attend a half-day, the above will take place from 9am-12pm.
If you’d like to attend a full day, the main focus during the afternoon will be match play.
