Christmas Camp 2008 Review
I was very pleased with the 43 players that attended this camp and who came from all over the country.

The subjects of this camp were: 1. For younger players - How To Play The Game 2. For Older Players - Work On Tactics 3. Goalkeepers - Specific Training,

To get the most out of the players, I decided to split the players into 3 groups instead of the normal 2, this way we could focus on specific needs for the different levels of the individual players. The results were very good, especially on the last day when the training was put in to a game situation. I was impressed with the quality of the games and even more when players aged between 10 and 12 played man to man restricted and carousel manoeuvres to a very good standard.

I would like to thank you for all for the compliments paid by players and parents on the last day as well text and email messages that have been sent to me since, applauding the professionalism of the work done and the standard of improvement attained in the players.

I believe this was the best camp to date and my objective is to always try and improve the quality of the camp to ensure we can increase the standards of our players.

As in every camp we gave 2 training T-shirts to each player at the start.
As part of the presentation at the end of the camp, each player received a certificate and an England National Training T-Shirt in recognition of their attendance.

We also awarded the following special achievement prizes:
