WARRIORS ON LOOK OUT FOR ADDITIONAL PLAYERS AND VOLUNTEERS FOR 2010 / 11 SEASON

Our Warriors’ Club is hoping to further strengthen its playing ranks and its team of volunteer coaches and officials for the 2010 / 11 season.

The Club is already one of the biggest and most successful in Britain. It has received National acclaim from the Sport’s Governing Body England Basketball, who have awarded it Clubmark and 4 Star Club Status.

The award of Clubmark status recognises that the Club operates to the highest quality assurance standards, and the award of 4 Star Club Status indicates that the Club runs one of the biggest competitive programmes in the Country in terms of the number of its National League teams, the number of players involved in the Club’s various squads and the number of qualified coaches and officials that operate within its programme.

We offer weekly training and regular match play opportunities to suitably talented and committed players. Such players can subsequently receive weekly high quality coaching from NGB qualified and suitably vetted coaches. They can also test their skills at the highest possible levels of regular regional and national league competition against players of similar abilities..

In the forthcoming 2010 / 11 season the Warriors we will be running development squads and representative teams for Minis (Mixed U12s), Under 13 14 15 16 and 18 Boys, and hopefully Under 14 Girls, and 16 Girls. These junior teams will all play in their respective age group National Leagues or in regional competitions.

The Club will also be operating a Senior Women’s team and as many as three Senior Men’s teams, each of which will compete in the West Midlands Leagues. The Club’s Men’s A team will be defending the Premier League Championship that they won comfortably this year , and its Women’s team will be trying to regain the Premier League Title they won in 2009 / 10.

“We already have strong and committed squads of players across our various age groups”, says Club Secretary Tom Sunley. “However, we are always looking to improve the depth of our squads and are therefore always on the lookout to strengthen every one of our squads.”

We are aware that out there in Shropshire and in its surrounding Counties there will definitely be a number of potential stars just waiting to be discovered.”

Any player who believes that they have the potential and desire to play at a high level and would like to try out for a particular squad is invited to contact Tom on 01952 505865 or by emailing him on sunley.tom@btinternet.com.

The Club is not only on the lookout for new players. It is also hoping to recruit additional volunteers to strengthen its back up team of coaches, administrators, and match officials. Anyone who wishes to become involved in coaching, administrating, or officiating within the Warriors programme is also invited to contact Tom, who says “The Club is willing to offer support funding to anyone who wishes to undertake training in these roles”
