Next week (19-23 April) there will be normal training carrying on – depending on what your respective coach has planned.

The summer training schedule will commence on 26th April.  The summer is a crucial time for your development as an elite player.  This is the key time for you to add new components to your game, to further develop your skill and understanding and to develop your physical fitness.

The Medway Park Crusaders annual AGM and end of season awards presentation will take place on Sunday, 16 May at 4:30 in the cafe at Medway Park.

The under 18s defeated Oxford by 17 points today to progress to the national quarterfinals.  They will travel to meet the North Premier division champions Manchester next weekend.

That now makes 3 teams (Under 18s, Under 14s, 6th Form Academy) who are 1 game away from Final Fours.  The Under 14 Academy are two games away from Final Fours.

Unfortunately Exeter are unable to field a team this weekend so have had to forfeit the match.  It means that the Under 14s now progress to the national quarterfinals where they will meet the winner of the game between Plymouth and Ipswich this weekend.

The Under 18s travel to Oxford hoping to match the Under 14s achievement on Saturday.

Just a reminder that there is no training this week due to the Modern Pentathlon World Cup being held at Medway Park. www.mpwc2010.co.uk

Summer training information will be coming out next week.  The under 18s travel to Oxford this week for their play-off match while the under 14s host Exeter on Sunday at 12:30 at Body and Mind, Canterbury High School.

There is a two day Level 1 Coaching Course at Herne Bay High on 24 April and 8 May.  Please contact Brian Steele (b.steele@hernebayhigh.kent.sch.uk) if you are interested.
