This season we will be running our second Youth Academy in Bedfordshire for the under 25’s. The Academy sessions will take place on Sunday 30th June and Saturday 3rd August at Potton B.C. and we would very much like you to attend both dates if possible. This is an opportunity for young players from all over Bedfordshire to meet with the aim of building a team for national competitions.
The aim of these Academy sessions is to challenge our younger players and enable them to improve their game. This is aimed at players of all abilities with a fun competition running across the two sessions and prizes will be given out at the end of the second day.
Each day will start with booking in at 10.00 with the first session of bowling starting at 10.30 prompt. You will need to bring a packed lunch, but some refreshments will be available during the day. All under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult.
Itinerary for the day is as follows.
10:00 Arrival and book in
10:30 – 12:00: Skills exercises
12:00 – 12:45: Lunch
12:45 – 14:45: Drawn team matches (limited ends)
14:45 Summary. Q & A, wrap up.
The afternoon session will take the form of competitive matches over a limited number of ends. Players will keep their own score cards and carry them forward to the next session. After each game the teams will be drawn again.
We will finish with a summary of the day and a Q & A session. Dress code for the day is club colours.
We very much hope you will join us for these Academy sessions and take advantage of the coaching and experience that will be available to you on the day.
