TIM
HOLGATES YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
The
club invested in youth development this season in a big way!
One venture was to fund hockey in schools. Tim Holgate and
Winning TRY provided this successful venture This
is what Tim did;-
-
Uni-hock coaching in 7/8 schools in the tring & berko
area.
- 14 hours per week spread across the schools
- The sessions were progressive starting with dribbling one
week, then passing, shooting, tackling, and matches.
- The children and teachers loved all the lessons. 17 out
of the 19 classes attend the tournament.
- About a dozen new members have signed up last season due
to the lessons and more will sign up next year due to the
success of the tournment on the astro turf!!
- Tournament winners were
Year 4 - Grove
Year 5 - Bishop Wood
Year 6 - Dundale
A very even split not dominated by any of the schools - trophies
were given to the captains of the winning teams present by
Patrick Barr.
Peter Simmons the Herts Hockey Development officer was also
present and spoke with teachers.
THANK
YOU TIM HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO MORE OF THE SAME NEXT
SEASON
