UPDATE:
Cheers,
Hi all,
Hope everyone is doing well!
An exciting moment … we want to take Touch skills to the next level!!! Also, next year is Euros 2012 in Italy, and for that we want the Dutch teams to be playing at an even higher level.
A few months ago, we saw the very best teams in action at the World Cup, and interestingly, they tended to play in a similar way. We now want to bring those common patterns and skills into our Touch.
Myself and Chris Lim, as the NTRB Coaching Team (with the input from the NTRB), plan to instil even better skills, structures, and a total gameplan (all players involved, not only the Mids) into Dutch Touch, in an effort to move up the FIT rankings and to strengthen our Leagues too.
The first step in this process is to run a Super Skills Sessions (SSS) on 10 December 2011. We want to start imprinting the new plays into our players’ minds, and also allow some time to digest and reflect before next year’s busy Touch schedule.
The SSS is open to all players who have played or aspire to play international standard Touch. If so, please save the date in your diaries! It will most probably be in Amsterdam, the field and times are still to be determined. The day will comprise a basic overview of the new play structure, drills to start practicing the most important basics (note: the Touch basics will not be drilled, as we will expect that from the participating players), ending off with a fully reffed, high standard game.
Request
If you will be joining the SSS, please let me know by emailing brad@touchrugby.nl so that I can keep a count of the numbers? If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please let myself and Chris I know? Thanks.
