U17/18’s – Training Sessions

Training sessions usually begin in the first week of September and run through until the end of April. Then the sessions sometime usually extended an extra 7 weeks into June.

There are times during the season that sessions may not be on due to the hall not being available. Notices are usually posted on the club website in advance (Under the ‘NO SESSIONS’  post – parents should check regularly for any updates), but occasionally certain scenarios e.g. weather conditions means there is less notice. We advise all parents/players who attend our sessions to check the club website regularly for any new updates.

Session Age Group: School Years 10-12/13

Day of the Week: Monday and Wednesday

Session Times (three sessions for this age group):

Session1: 7-8:30pm (at Stewards Academy)

Session 2: 8:30-10pm (JCVL players at Stewards Academy)

Session 3: 6:30-8pm (at Harlow Leisurezone)

Costs: We operate a block booking system for our sessions. Each block for this age group is 5 weeks (it works out at £8 per session – Block payment MUST be paid at the first session of the block that players attend).

What to Bring: T-shirt, shorts/tracksuit or jogging bottoms, suitable trainers, drink(s) (preferably NOT fizzy). Hawks training top (or black and white tops) if you have one otherwise a t-shirt or a basketball team vest is fine – Hawks training tops are ONLY compulsory for ALL JCVL TEAM registered players.

What to Expect: As this session is combined with the U18’s, the drills are often conducted at a good pace and with a higher level of skill and accuracy than other teams of this age. That said, beginners and players of less ability are warmly welcomed by the group and encourage to improve at a impressive rate.
