Eagles Head Coach Will White says he is very happy with what he has seen at the team’s rookie sessions so far this month.
A good number of rookie players attended the first two sessions in St Neots over the last couple of weekends, and Coach White was impressed with the new guys.
We put them through a number of drills and ability test to work out how athletic they were and what positions they could help the club.
The standard of the guys has been very good. Most have played sport at a very good level and coped with the things we threw at them without any major corrections needed so we’re looking forward to seeing how they develop.
This Sunday’s session (18th October) takes place at Lealands High School in Luton, with the final session being held at Stantonbury Campus in Milton Keynes a week later.
Both run from 11am to 1pm and are open to anyone aged 14+ (for the Youth Team) or 18+ (for the Senior Team).
Commenting on what rookie players should expect from from the sessions, Coach White said it’s not all just about football:
We do some conditioning work as we want to have a good understanding of the guys’ fitness levels as well as their football ability.
Most of all though people should expect to have fun – we want to make each session enjoyable as possible!
