We currently have space for all 8-12s to join us for training. The training is Tuesdays and Thursdays 5pm-6pm. At this age, some prefer to train once per week and some prefer twice, it is your choice. The 8-12s training is based around making friends and enjoying their training, as well as athletic and speed development. We do lots of moving around, different to the more controlled detailed exercises in the older groups, and lots of running and dynamic training. The training covers speed, throwing, jumping and distance running. To learn more about the sessions, please use the app Spond and enter the group code IHFVG.
