Chris Chubb, PE Juniors Lead and Jamie Finley, Kent Youth Development Officer, worked closely together to organise a coaching day in the south east. Twelve Juniors attended the event ranging from complete beginners to some who had represented England in the recent European Championships.
Jamie had organised the day which started with Juniors in pairs working their way round 7 skills stations, spending about 15 minutes at each station. The event was well supported by Kent with Barry Menzies, Keith Atkinson, Andy Dunstall, Craig Poynter and Carolyn Edwins helping as mentors at each station. John Edmondson & John Geddes were also present and coaching. Mentors added strengths and areas to develop on clipboards carried by each Junior. This will be converted into detailed feedback to give Juniors areas to focus on in the coming weeks.
Thanks to GRFC for hosting this event and providing hot drink facilities.
