8 WAY COACHING AND PLAYER/COACH TEAMS

XStormin8 is carrying on for 2010! The team's plan is to complete two weeks of training, plus 8 hours of tunnel time at Bedford.
 
XStormin8 competed at the 2009 World Cup in the Czech Republic, scoring a fantastic 6.9 average which was a great improvement on the 5.7 average scored at the British Nationals just two weeks before. This was a fantastic opportunity for the team to compete at a World level and it was definitely an experience to remember!

This year's line up was: Smithy, Dave Stephens, Calvin Blacker, Stikkos, Joel Gluth, Aillee Hardman, Jo Gibbs, and Lesley Gale. Ben Cannon filmed the team for the Spain training camp, John Baggaley filmed at the Nationals and Rob Grey filmed at the World Cup (Escondido, thanks for sharing!).

If you would like to be involved in future projects, please contact Smithy on sarahjcannon@hotmail.co.uk for further details.

BPA COACHING ROADSHOWS 2009

28-29 March – Sparky and Andy Scott attended the Peterlee Coaching Road Show. They held seminars throughout Saturday and then did 10 coached jumps on the Sunday ranging from people’s FS1’s, basic 2-way WARP and more advanced 4-ways.

25-26 April - Smithy and Hannah coached at the Nethers Road Show, which was moved last minute from Dunkeswell. They coached a number of 4 way teams and individuals, inspiring another roadshow to take place at the DZ a few months later!

23-24 May – Sparky coached 22 teams for the weekend of the Weston UKSL. There was a good mixture of Rookie, A, AA and AAA. Some had never done 4-way before other than their FS1. Sparky didn’t leave the creeper pad for 2 days!!

27-28 June – Sparky coached at the 2nd Nethers Coaching Road Show – this concentrated mainly on people wanting to do 4-way rather than basic WARP which club jumpers will do.
