Feira Trip - June 2009
I am pleased to inform everyone that Feira City have specially re-arranged a tournament for the weekend to accommodate us for Under 11, Minors and Intermediates to help our development.
This way we will have training sessions, friendly and competitive games.
The Trip Schedule can be seen here and the Team Lists can be seen here
National Project Squads
I will be announcing the Project Squads 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014 after August National Training Weekend
These projects will start in September 2009 and will consist of 2/3 goalkeepers and 12/13 players.
In the next 3 months the time table for National Training Weekend can change with groups having different times and training at the same time with other groups to ensure we can swap players around to ensure we can make a better assessment.
I will pass a document to all the parents regarding the projects and I will need a confirmation from them about their commitment as I am intending to run these projects the same way we have done with 2010 which has been very successful.
I would like to emphases that I will announce a maximum of 15 players (including goalkeepers) and it is possible that some players will not be named in the squads, although they can still train in their group age at National Training Weekends. This way I will ensure players develop properly to achieve the objectives for England to be very competitive at International level.
Finally I may change players from one project to other and it is also possible that I may replace players already named in the project with a player that has not been originally named in the squad.
If this is the case then it will be discussed with the player and their parents.

Sesimbra 2009
For the third year in a row England Roller Hockey teams are participating in one the most pretigious tournaments in Portugal. This year I have decided to take a Minors Team, (players born in 1996 & 1997) and an Intermediates (players born in 1994) team.
Minors are players involved on 2011 & 2012 projects and Intermediates are players involved in the 2010 project.
These projects are part of the Development Plan for our sport to develop players to attend their first European Under 17 Championships.
This tournament will take place in Sesimbra a town 30 minutes away from Lisbon, starting on Thursday and finishing on Saturday. The teams will fly out on Thursday morning and will return to England on Sunday morning.
This tournament will have 4 teams participating in each level from Under 11 to Juniors giving an opportunity for our players to have a couple of competitive games and watch quality Portuguese Teams.

Minors Team:
