England Student Trials (Andy)Added 9 days ago
Just in case anybody is interested in going:
---------------------

Hi all.

The Trial for the England Students Korfball Squad (ESKS) is now confirmed, it will take place at the Sports Centre at Nottingham Trent Clifton Campus.

The trial will be from 12 until 4 on Saturday the 15th of November, you will need to be there at 11.15 to register. The trial costs £10 to enter, and you must bring this on the day. Also, you must bring along a white and a dark t-shirt (dark blue or black), in order for games to be run smoothly.

This year the squad has ambitious targets, and a great set up to reach these goals, looking to being a successful year for the team. Dave Synott and Pete Teague will be takin gover the coaching roles this year. So I'd like to thank them and also Andy Dowding for his efforts over the years previous.

Trials will be a great chance for individuals to play a higher level of Korfball than that already available at their universities, and also be a great experience.

Having checked eligibility, it is for players, under the age of 28, registered in Higher Education, born in or studying in England.

To all those attending the trial, good luck and see you there.

Any questions just contact me at matt.warren08@googlemail.com

Thanks

Matt Warren
BSKA Chair

 
Cardiff Tournament Success (Nick Wilkins)Added 29 days ago
After a fun filled tournament in Cardiff, Birmingham finished 5th and 6th in their 1st tournament of the year. Only a goal from experienced Bolton could separate the teams as they met each other in the final game of the day.

The usual array of drinking, dancing, games and hazy memories followed to ensure that everyone came home with big smiles on their tired faces, after thoroughly enjoying the weekend.

Special mention to all the freshers, many of whom were competing in their first competitive game. If this first tournament is anything to go by, it looks as though it could be a very successful year for Birmingham University korfball club.

 
Extra Training Sessions (Nick)Added 44 days ago
Hope everyone is enjoying the new season kicking in, and the korfball so far. Over the next few weeks we're going to be progressing on quite quickly trying to cover a lot of the basic concepts in korfball to build everyone up to playing some structured 4 on 4.

However, whilst that is all happening, this season we are instigating an opportunity to practice a little more korfball, in a fairly informal manner allowing people who want to to get in some extra training to do so. However this is going to run slightly differently to normal training.

Once a week there will be an extra session on one evening for one hour. This will be taking place in the Munrow Sports Centre (currently the New Gym) and taken by you guys, the players, and not me, the coach. The sessions will be primarily skill based drills (lots of shooting) and not tactical or strategical exercises.

The aim of this session is three fold:
a) On the obvious level, it will hopefully improve everyone's shooting and core korfball skills.
b) Secondary to this will obviously be the fun social factor involved in meeting up with your mates and having some fun.
c) But just as importantly it allows you guys to take a korfball session in a small controlled relaxed environment. It will improve the organisers ability to coach, make them think a little about what they want people to do, and hopefully give people an avenue to channel some of their thoughts in korfball.

So what happens from here on in?
We have actually got the hall booked for the next three Mondays starting today (sorry for the short notice), running from 9:15pm to 10:15pm. After these three weeks we will try and alter the time / day slightly if possible to allow people who are busy on Monday evenings to also get a chance to join in. Just to cover the costs of the hall hire its just £1 to go to the session.

Due to the hall and post limitations, the maximum number of people at a session will be 12 people. To kick off the first week Ben W and Chris are taking the session, however due to the obvious time constraints (ie most of you finding out on the day) then for tonight simply turn up and meet in Munrow about 9pm. From here on in however we will get a list going where you can put your name down after training on the Friday or Sunday.

I'd like to stress guys that this is not compulsory, is is no way meant to put an extra burden on anyones time, but is simply a great opportunity for the people who want to to meet up, practice some korfball shooting, and have some fun.

Im really excited by all of this guys n gals, so hopefully we can get this ball rolling and get everyone really enjoying everything korfball related this year.
