The FIMBA GB +50 Women had their final and festive training camp in Leicester at the weekend.
Following the running of some passing and shooting drills, Coach Gander introduced the newer players to various set plays they propose to implement during games. This was followed by concentrating on running through team strategies in both Man and Zone defences. spacing and positioning. Before applying these philosophies in game situations, Coach Gander opened the floor to players to provide comments on possible adjustments that could be made to help improve on any points such as spacing and positioning. The response was excellent with a valuable minor tweak applied, which could be seen in one of the most competitively and well played scrimmages. On court relationships shown on both teams are evolving nicely and cohesion and court awareness are improving massively and certainly on the rise.
As we head into the Christmas break, team and player confidence is extremely high following another outstanding training weekend in Leicester. With offensive strategies in place, we focused on defensive strategies, overall team phil-osophies and expectations to be applied throughout this campaign.

The Secret Santa went down a treat with some very well thought of and also some amusing presents presented to all. Thanks to Vice Captain Michelle for organising this.

In the meantime, I would just like to wish everyone within the awesome W50s Team and also all involved at FIMBA a very Merry Christmas and a happy and successful New Year.
