Halton and Farnworth Hornets ARLFC

Dear Keith,

On behalf of Neil Meadows (HFH U13's Team Coach) all the players and those parents who witnessed the experience of your woodlands,we would like to offer our unconditional gratitude.

The assault course really tested the players and demonstrated how unfit they actually were. The idea of putting juniors through the demands of an assault course may seem daunting to some people, who consider it 'too punishing'.

In actual fact the very opposite occurred and the players accepted the demands and as a consequence they grew in stature and confidence. Yes they had to work hard but that was always going to be the case- they had a good idea what their commitment would have to be.

From a group of 18 juniors not one single player complained or remonstrated about the toughness of the course. You could see that each players face was etched with concentration and determination. They loved it.

Much of this environment was created by the fully quallified fitness instructors who continually shouted out instructions, encouraged the group, and monitored their every single movement. Thank you guys.
