Girls Pre Season Warm Weather Netball Camp

Gibraltar 2 - 7 January 2012


We all appreciate the value of a warm weather Pre Season Camp for Boys teams and it is no accident that those that tend to lift trophies in May, are those that are able to make the best of the limited time available between Xmas and the start of the January term. 

The Gibraltar Camp takes this concept to the next level; One destination, superb training facilities, a concentration of world class coaches, analysis systems, fixtures, rules seminars, team building forums and the freedom for each and every coach to design their own programme within the frame work of the camp. 

We appreciate that each squad has its own individual constraints and requirements and within reason these can be accommodated. Not every squad will arrive nor depart on the same day, some may wish to focus on fitness training, others on skills and the desire for fixtures and R&R excursions may vary from squad to squad.
The Camp takes all these factors into account!

Arrive when you please, do as you wish and depart when you are ready but agree with us on one thing - together you are stronger and whist you all aspire to winning, every coach has a wisdom to impart and every player benefits from a diversity of guidance. Whilst our Professional coaches have a depth of elite experience you too have a wealth of knowledge which we hope you will share in a series of coaching clinics and seminars. The Camp is designed for 6 UK teams and will be joined by 2 local Clubs and the Gibraltar U18 squad. 

Fitness

The chances are most of the squads will have been at their own disposal for about 3 weeks before they arrive in Gibraltar and fitness will be a consideration for all the coaches. The daily program will include access to scheduled sessions within the Fitness Centre and other facilities. The Strength & Conditioning Coaches will assess individuals through a series of tests and will advise each coach and player of the results. Squad Coaches will leave Gibraltar with a detailed summary of the strength & condition of each individual player and a recommended programme for remainder of the season. Alternatively Squad Coaches may elect to follow their own program and will be allocated time and facilities to do so.

Skills & Tactical Coaching

Every squad will get their allocation of Astro time to conduct their own Skills & Tactical coaching programs. 

Fixtures

The presence of 9 squads during the week create a great opportunity for both training and competitive matches. Squad Coaches may indicate the extent to which they wish to participate in fixtures in order to achieve their own objectives. The ‘flexibility’ of squads to set their own programmes and the objectives of the Camp preclude opportunity for a Tournament although every match will no doubt be tightly contested.

Rules Seminars

Start the season with a clear insight to the laws of the game and the changes and how they will impact on the game.

Teambuilding Forum

As part of the camp we offer the opportunity for squads to develop their team work through a series of non hockey activities designed to identify potential leaders and foster team work that delivers benefits on the pitch. These forums also offer the additional benefits of relaxation and mental agility to balance the physical demands of the rest of the Camp

Netball Facilities

The Victoria Stadium houses the international standard Netball Facility. These facilities are floodlit and together with the Multi Purpose Sports Hall and Bastion Leisure Centre offer participating teams access to indoor and outdoor training facilities from 7 in the morning to 10 at night.

All of these facilities have been carefully incorporated into the standard programme.

Accommodation

Participants at the Camp can choose between the 4 Star Caleta Hotel and the 2 Star Europa Retreat Centre.

Rest & Recuperation

As part of the Rest & Recuperation programme participants will enjoy a Tour of the Peninsular including the Upper Rock, Marine Cruise and Tenpin Bowling.

Catering

Residential Half Board with packed lunches.

Transport

Flights and Airport Transfers included.
