BD/UU, Following on from our most successful Tour campaign, resulting in 3rd place in the rankings and the reward of a spot at World Clubs next summer, EMO will be holding open training sessions and trials up until Christmas resulting in the selection of the squad for the 2014 season. Everyone is welcome at these training sessions; we’re not just looking for established players but for anyone with ambition that wants to work hard and contribute to an exciting future. We believe we offer the environment to both develop and excel: our aim is to attract players that will improve and push the current squad. In light of this, all current members will be required to attend these training sessions and the trials process.
>From this squad 2 teams will be selected to compete across all 3 UKU Tours, UKU Regionals and UKU Nationals with the aim of qualifying for EUCF. In addition to this, a squad will be selected to represent the club at the World Club Championships in Italy. We are also looking to enter a European tournament in the build up to Worlds. * * *Training and trial details* **EMO train on grass on Tuesday nights starting at 7:30pm at Nelson Mandela Park in Leicester (LE1 6YT - some parking available on Lancaster Road).
