Easter Sunday Training Camp

Easter Sunday saw 12 players travel to Ferndale for an extra training session. Not only did players travel from the Rhondda there were players who travelled from Nantymoel, Swansea and Gwent. The day started early for a Sunday and the first session (10-12) saw the group work on consistancy and then footwork. Even though there was a variation in standards within the group everybody worked incredibly hard.
After a brief lunch break the group were put through their paces with an agility test. This was no easy test, as the players found out. Even though the step ladder caused some difficulty for some players. The day ended with a competition to see who had developed the skills that had been worked on during the day. There was a main and consolation event that everybody played out for the finishing position, apart from the losing semi-finalists in the main event. Due to it being Easter Sunday the winner's were awarded with an Easter egg for their efforts. The final positions were as follows:
1 - Chris Griffiths, 2 - Max Clews, 3 - Ethan Lewis and Steven Fawkes, 5 - Sharlene Williams,  6 - Charlotte Slye, 7 - Jon Bisp, 8 - Kieran Parry, 9 - Jamie Walters, 10 - Josh Williams, 11 - Harry Langley, 12 - Cade Short.

Overall it was a fantastic session that every player managed to get something out of and they shall hopefully attend future sessions. Thanks must go to the other coaches in attendance (Dai Treharne and Stephen Gertsen) and also Charlotte Carey, who came for the morning session as a practise partner and also had a little question and answer session with the players to show just how far you can go with hard work.
