Ely and Soham Schools

It was pointed out that both these schools are secondary schools and as such will need

full size posts. Phoenix have some old posts

 

CDSSSA meeting

This meeting is being held on 9th January and Korfball is now on the agenda. We need a

presence there to promote Korfball. Andy Rutter, Liv Armitage and Lia from Kites have

been suggested.

 

Volunteers

Phoenix can offer one coach and three assisters to aid the junior development, while

City and Tigers both have volunteers. Kites naturally have people to help out. Definitive

list of people required from all clubs.                                                                                All

 

Recruitment

It was suggested we might recruit juniors through school holiday activity sessions held

at venues such as local sports centres where we could set up some Korfball games.

CRC has a Twilight Zone session that may be suitable                                                        Chrissy

Kelsey Kerridge and Impington Village College may have such events                                  City &

                                                                                                                                    Tigers

Debbie Etheridge may have ideas on other ways to target juniors. Debbie to be

contacted.                                                                                                                     Liz C

 

Kites Junior training

There are few attending at present (8 at last session). If this is continued in the new

year then all clubs need to send volunteers along to help out with this training while

the longer term junior development plan is evolved.                                                          All

 

Time Scales

It was felt that realistically it would be September before the new development was up

and running to give proper time to plan.

 

 

National Youth day

Is this to be 1st Sunday in July? Confirmation required.                                                       Liz J
