Time to shake off those off-season cobwebs and get a bit of air back into those lungs, and that's only the parents

So, first day back, start of a new season, good to see a great turnout and nice to welcome two new faces, Eduard and Isiah, both of whom had an excellent first session.
We ran a reasonably easy training session, some warm up passing drills, a little jog around the pitch and some core strength push drills.
This was followed by tackle channels and whilst most were a little rusty when it came to tackle technique, it was good to see that after a few tackles with their heads finishing underneath rather than on top they soon remembered.
We followed this with a quick game of kick tennis, in the U11s kicking from hand is now allowed, this is one of the changes for the new season.
We followed this up with match play and, for a first day back after the Summer break, there was some excellent play on show, lots of good running Rugby, support play and rucking (once they remembered that was what they had to do ) and most pleasing, there was no kicking from hand, the ball was kept in play as much as possible.
An excellent first day back.
