Hornets Vespas
Hornets Vespas is a skills based weekly clinic devoted to junior players ages 10-15yrs.
The clinic will be run over 6 weeks, with each session up to 90 minutes in duration.
Hills Hornets Coaches will guide junior players through a number of drills that develop the skills required for touch. Games will be played to allow players to consolidate skills learned.
The emphasis will be on fun, team work and skill development.
Clinic numbers will be capped and registration may close earlier than advertised date if capacity has been reached.
All registered Vespas will receive a t-shirt.
UPDATE 29/04 – Vespas registrations have now reached capacity. If you would like your child to be added to our waitlist in case of any withdrawals, please email info@hillshornetstouch.com and include your child’s name and date of birth. You will be contacted if a position becomes available.
