SENIOR AND JUNIOR COACHING SESSION AT PLAYSPORT

For the first time both the Senior Squad and the Juniors took part in a combined Coaching Session with Lesley Mackay at Playsport, East Kilbride. All the ‘girls’ were put through their paces with target practice and distance control. Liz Stewart was probably the most enthusiastic – she certainly made enough noise when she hit the target - ‘get in there’ was heard several times!!

Alyson McKechin also helped the Juniors understand what was going on by having Lesley explain things several times before the practice session got under way!

The juniors also enjoyed playing in teams with the seniors and a session at the short game practice area was also beneficial – although it was very cold.
The Seniors showed the Juniors at least one thing – how to wrap up for the winter chill!!

All the Senior Squad were there (apart from Gillian McGinlay and Trish Davidson who had work commitments) and around 14 Juniors took part.

A good day all round and one which will no doubt be repeated.
