Club captains and coaches, please forward to your team. It is my pleasure to announce the first ever Elite Skills Clinic for the weekend of 26-27th June 2010. This is going to be an intensive, weekend-long training camp aimed at teaching solid fundamentals as well as various other tricks of the trade. I have been fortunate enough to secure some of the world's finest players and coaches to run this event, including members of the 2009 World Games Gold Medallists, Team USA, and current UPA Open Champions, Chain Lightning.
These highly experienced coaches will lead small groups, teaching fundamental skills, running games and drills, and providing one-to-one feedback. The number of participants will be restricted to ensure that each person gets a quality experience. No matter what your current level, anyone can learn a thing or two from these world-class competitors on their way to WUCC in Prague. Maybe you're a coach yourself, and would like to see how they do things across the pond. Maybe you're from a new team and need some tips on how the best players in the world do the fundamentals so well. Maybe you're thinking about trying out for the GB teams next year, and want to give yourself the edge. Maybe you just want to be a better player. To my knowledge, this is the first event of its kind in the UK. Skills camps like this run regularly in the US, and are one of the reasons that the US Junior scene is so strong. Make sure you don't miss this opportunity. You may not get another one. Full details are still being finalised, but for now, make sure you're available. If you are interested in attending or have any questions, please drop me an email: sionscone[at]gmail[dot]com. To register, simply send me an email with the following details: Name: Contact Details: (email & phone) Details of Ultimate Experience: (we will be splitting participants into groups based on their skill level to ensure evenly matched participants) Venue: Loughborough Date: 26-27th June Cost: £45 per person if you register before April 21st (4 weeks today), rising to £60 per person if you register afterwards - training will run 8am-6pm Saturday, 8am-4pm Sunday... you get a lot for your money! - includes lunch both days - if you can only come for one day, the cost is £35 - this is non-profit event; all monies raised will help fund the airfares of the coaches who will be flying to the UK especially for this event. - group discounts apply; bring your team and save money! Groups must be 10 or more, contact me for details. - numbers will be limited to ensure a high coach-to-participant ratio. However, if the event is oversubscribed then I will try to get extra coaches to fly in. Hence the 'early bird' price; it allows me time to organise with players in the US. This means that in order to guarantee your place, you must register early! - the event is subject to minimum attendance numbers. If we don't reach these, and the event needs to be cancelled, everyone will receive a full refund. More details to come. First come, first served.
