Merseyside Nighthawks
campaign for 2010.
On Sunday the 8th, 15th, 22nd November 2009 the Merseyside
Nighthawks will be running their annual tryouts.
No experience is necessary to take part, but if you would
like to come along and see if our sport is for you, the Nighthawks would be
delighted to give you that opportunity.
Camp will start at 1:30pm with registration and will finish
around 4:30- 5:00pm.
Full squad attendance won’t be until the start of January,
so attending this camp is a great time to start with people of a similar
experience and skill level. There will be some returning players attending as
this provides the added benefit of some veteran players experience, who as well
as the coaches, will be more than happy to help you and answer any of your
questions. This will give you an opportunity to test your abilities and gauge
your own standard.
The sessions will take place on the 3G all weather pitch at
Birkenhead Park Rugby club and are free.
Address:
Birkenhead Park FC
Upper Park
Park Road North
Birkenhead
Wirral
CH41 8AA
Make you your way to the Rugby Club House for registration
then we will head down to the pitch for the start of session.
For the camp we suggest you bring a combination of
sweats/tracksuit or shorts and t-shirt (bearing in mind you want to stay warm
and dry. There are changing facilities available) It is also advised that you
bring moulded trainers and boots (ones suitable for grass and the other for the
artificial surface, we are holding the camp on an artificial surface but it may
also be necessary to use the field).
Initially the training at the camp will be non-contact,
which is usual for ‘off-season’ training camps. The purpose of these camps is
to have fun while building up the fitness and endurance necessary to play the
game and also be introduced to the game whilst learning a few fundamentals.
The coaching staff may decide on the day to do some timed
events to gauge skill levels (such as shuttle runs and some basic drills);
these are useful to see progression over the weeks and months.
There may be an opportunity to try on shoulder pads and
helmets for those who have never done so before, but contact drills will not
start until full team training.
