+50 Women Southern Trials

The second of two trials weekends this time taking place at The Forest School Sports Hall, Wokingham, brought together existing players from last season plus 6 new players new to the FIMBA GB +50 Women set up.

Once again, the training plans for the weekend were created to be a competitive mix of drills and game situations to establish players suitability for the squad. Coaching Consultant/Team Manager Mal Gander and Head Coach Phil Gander were immediately impressed by the effort and fitness levels on display. They have been left under no illusion that the team when chosen will be competitive throughout the 2024/2025 campaign.

One particular point I would like to highlight was the sharp, crisp and unselfish passing which was a pleasure to witness throughout the weekend. The attendees have generally provided great and useful feedback for the sessions however the slightly reduced duration of each session to 2 and a half hours indicated that we could have increased the intensity slightly. We therefore look forward to making the team work even harder during the first training session of the season in Leicester over the weekend of November 16th/17th

 The next training session is 16th November (1-4pm) and 17th November (10.30am – 1.30pm) both at DMU in Leicester.  If you are interested in coming along to play for the FIMBA GB +50W team please complete the registration form by clicking here.
