Suffolk Coastal Torpedoes
Water Polo Club
Our U15s mixed squad began the Winter league last night playing Ipswich U15s at Deben Pool, Woodbridge. We lost the game 4-13, our goals coming from Rufus x2, Conall and Robert.
The coaches were pleased with how well all of our players played and the determination shown against a very good Ipswich side.
This month SC Torpedoes ran an Aquatic Helpers Course for 15 of our 13-16 age group players.
This is part of the ASA accredited training programme. This workshop is designed to give our players a basic understanding of coaching techniques, explain how to watch for general poolside safety issues and understanding how people develop skills and general good poolside safety practices. It is also great for the young person’s Curriculum Vitae and provides a step up into the ASA/ UKCC Level 1 Courses
The course ran over two nights, the 1st evening in a classroom session at Beacon Hill School learning the theory. The 2nd night was more exciting with our delegates working pool side with some of younger players putting that theory into practice
Thank you to Sue for giving up her time to run the course, our delegates for taking the course and big thank you to our younger players and (and parents for bringing them) for supporting fellow club members to gain this qualification.
Let hope we will see some these newly trained Aquatic Helpers helping as regulars supporting the younger player training sessions.
Felixstowe Leisure Centre are unable to provide an instructor this Tuesday so Land Training is cancelled this week.
Junior squad pool session 8:15pm-9pm as normal
A girls team representing East Anglia will be travelling to Manchester this weekend to compete in British Gas ASA National Age Group Water Polo Championships 2013 – Academy age group Born 99 and under.
Good luck to all the girls playing, but especially to our own “Torpedoes” Faye Hermon and Brooke Flower who were selected for this team.
