Our junior section is going from strength to strength and we have a waiting list of players at each age group. With this in mind the Club is looking at splitting its U7 section into two – U5 and 5-7year olds.
It is felt that by splitting the section into two it will encourage greater player development as training and drills will be targeted more specifically to age groups.
The U5 will be a fun session encouraging participation and teaching the basic skills such as how to hold a stick and how to dribble, pass and shoot.
Sessions will involve a lot of small games and activities and will encourage the players to have as much contact with the ball as possible.
This will thus allow the 5-7 year olds to be taught the more complex principles of tactics and positional sense in preparation for playing in competitive fixtures in the U7 league and Nationals.
In order to split the section into 2 we are looking for some rink dividers in order to separate the two age groups and create a safe environment for both sections.
Dividers are £150 each and we are looking for 10 sponsors. We currently have 4 sponsors on board so if anybody is interested in helping the Club out please contact us via email at sheffieldsteelersbhc@gmail.com
