U9’s and U10’s combine

Well the snow finally arrived as forecast, and the club had already made provisions for a combined indoor training session for the U9ss and U10’s.

The session started with a warm up lead by Jiggo, lead coach for the U10’s. This was a combination of sprinting, shuttle runs, Piggy back and wheelbarrow races, Wrestling and Shoulder touch. Whilst the boys took a quick water break the coaches setup the circuit stations for the rest of the session.

Jiggo, supported by the other coaches and a number of parents, took the boys through each of the stations in turn. They then began the circuit round Gym 2 with a minute on each station and 30 seconds between each one to move to the next station and have a quick breather.

Stations included:

• Star jumps
• Sit ups
• Bear crawls
• Pass/squat thrust
• Bag lift
• Press ups
• Scrum half pass
• Tackle pads
• 1 v 1 tackle
• Bench jumps

All the boys put in an excellent effort and where truly warn out by the end of the circuit. After a quick drink break the boys cooled down with a pass, pop and run in groups of 4, with each group taking up a corner of a square.

The part of the session was videoed by Adrian so hopefully we’ll get some of the videos up on Pitchero so look out for them.

Here's hoping the match at Home next week against Rochford is on. Watch out for Pitchero and Teamer updates over the coming week for confirmation.
