Beste clubgenoten,
Je zou het niet zeggen, maar we kruipen toch al echt naar het eind van het seizoen.
Dit wil echter niet zeggen dat we niets meer gaan doen. Sterker nog, naast de competitie zijn
er bijvoorbeeld nog toernooien, zoals onze mooie Beach in HvH, Ameland, een tour voor de Benji’s/Mini’s, een clubavond voor de Heren/Dames en Old-Suckers, de hopelijk kampioenswedstrijd op 14 april van het eerste team etc etc. Maar ook het volgende:
In het weekend van 25 en 26 mei zal de vlag van Wales wapperen bij The Hookers.
Hoofdcoach Mark Allen heeft voor dat weekend 4 trainers uit Wales uitgenodigd die clubbreed trainingen komen geven. Tevens krijgen alle coaches/trainers coachingsessies. M.a.w. een prachtweekend!
Wie komen er ?? Het zijn zeer zeker niet de minste !

Mathew Williams
I have run an elite rugby academy for 10 years working on developing the skills and attributes to compliment long term player development and to support premiership academies. The model is all about delivering one to one coaching and support for junior players that continue to graduate into international and contracted premiership rugby players.
As a player I played junior international rugby for England and Ireland and have been involved in the professional and semi-professional game for 15 years. I have recently been a Head Coach for a team in Birmingham for the last 6 years and will be coming to Holland after working with the National Men’s and women’s team in Bahamas as a consultant sevens coach before taking up a coaching role in Washington DC for the summer
My values are built around good time keeping and coaching a style that allows players to express themselves aand develop in a player centred approach
