The last Sunday of every month Zone 10 hold a training day for Junior bowlers in our Zone. Yesterday morning I headed to Rydalmere Central to coach. We had 14 juniors and we paired up and ran through some drills using our new training aids. Next camp I will take some pics.
Anne Jones is the head coach with myself, Dennis Harmer and other Zone 10 members lending there expertise. We have a video guy, and several other coaches who are keen to be involved. It is a great day where the kids from all the different zones get together and run through some of the drills and activities we do at State and National level.
I try to incorporate much of what we do at the NSW Institute of Sport (NSWIS) camps into the Zone 10 Academy. We do some distraction training and get the juniors into good pre shot routines so they can re-focus when distracted. We also get the juniors communicating with each other contructively within the drills and throughout the sessions.
Last week I had a 3 day training camp at NSWIS with a few new faces and new staff members. The weather was a bit crazy but we were able to get through the drills, fitness testing and even played some poker in the athletes lounge during a break:)
