A word from our leaders - Jonathan Thompson & Ean MacKellar:

 

Well after a nice lay-off for the summer, the new season is just around the corner. We need to start this season well and ensure we make our mark on the leagues before Christmas. To do this we need to be fit, sharp and well trained and drilled. To that end, you should be doing a number of fitness sessions/runs and, where possible, some interval training. If these terms are unknown to you, there are plenty of web sites which can help you to produce your own training regime. We are looking for both speed and stamina.

 

Some general advice only – make sure you take a day off between training sessions – your body can only take so much training and we don’t want to start the season with the squads depleted because people overdid it!

 

Otherwise, we look forward to seeing every one of you at the first training session on Tuesday 17th August 2010 starting at 7:30pm.

 

We are looking for volunteers to help with training and transporting juniors. If you are interested, please let Ean know ASAP so that we can start the process of CRB checking.

 

We have been offered a course for people who would like to learn to umpire. We need umpires in greater numbers than you would think so please put your name forward to Ean ASAP.

 

Finally, if there is someone who should be getting this newsletter and you know he is not, please let us have their email address and we’ll add them for next time.

 

Enjoy the rest of the summer and start getting fit!
