Get2Go Selection

Hey Guys and Gals,
We have had a fantastic time over these last 6 months, developing our junior squad. It has come to that time where, due to training requirements, I cannot continue to train the 24 strong junior squad. As I said today, I have been so impressed with everyone's improvement and effort, and that if we were allowed to take more than one team, I would have no problems taking three very competitive and capable teams. please keep an eye on the blog, as we have still got other events and training's in the months that follow.

At this stage there will be:
Monday morning: Long distance running (anyone can come to this)
Wednesday morning: Fitness training for Get2Go Squad
Wednesday afternoon: Orienteering (anyone can come, but spaces will be limited depending on location, so you must text me to save a place)
Thursday afternoon: Problem solving (Get2Go Squad)

I will be putting a calender of events and training's up this weekend, so please have a good look at that.

The names below are the people who will continue to train for Get2Go Finals:

Ella Poole-Crowe
Matt Kingi
Flynn Hill
Callum Hill
Mackenzie Johnson
Grace Elliot
Madi Doar
Daniel McInnes
Euan Sapwell
Emma Moscrip
Bill Hamilton
Alex Godman

I know that there are 12 names there, but I will talk with the squad when we get together next week. As I said at training, this was a very hard decision, and we had to build a team that had a wide variety of skills, and of people that can work well together.

We will get back into full squad training when we return from Great Barrier.

Keep an eye on the blog for any further updates.
