JUNIORS
BOURNE HOCKEY CLUB
FOUNDED 1926
Spring Newsletter February 2008
Hello! Below are the planned training dates until the end of the season. ( They are on the club website for future reference. )
We have had a very successful time with all of our junior players. Ian and Josh continue to manage the younger children (when they haven’t got their own match early on a Saturday). Thanks lads for your continued support. It appears crab relays are sought after on that end of the pitch!!
Our older ones enjoy continued success in the u12’s Lincolnshire league and are placed in the top division for the foreseeable future. Thanks to parents for getting them to Lincoln on Sundays! (No lie in for you at the weekend yet.) Great support from Liz, Alex, Alastair and Jan in managing the groups each time – couldn’t manage without your help. Lets hope the next two sessions prove just as successful. I am sure we will be promoting this league next season too for our u12’s.
Our older players are making their mark admirably at senior level and some are promoted to the upper echelons of the club. Their stature and confidence as senior players never ceases to amaze me and I am as proud of them as the younger juniors.
As the seniors league season comes to an end, it allows us to pin down some of the players to help us with the junior coaching. We will be promoting our Junior Coaching Festival starting in April. The aim of this is to allow us an opportunity to really focus on skills and offer extra quality coaching at all levels and raise further funds for the club.
The end of season dinner as you know is on 5th April. Jonathan and I are joining some of the older youngsters!?!? along with some parents – would love you to join us if you wish. Tickets still available but not for long!!
Hoodys available (£15, red) - please let me know if you wish to order – reply mail will do – I do have some larger black ones (men’s small,med and large £20) so if you fancy a change of colour and it’s birthday time – put it on the list!
(Girls – 2nd March - no match, sorry not enough players available)
