Coaching for Juniors by World Cup Squad - 3rd January 2005

There will be a coaching workshop and question and answer session with GB Squad Member, Helen Winskill, on 3rd January 2005.  This will be held after the Trail Challenge races on Wimbledon Common.  All junior orienteers are invited to attend this session which is supported by the Sporting Champions scheme.   The Trail Challenge races include a 2k Mini Trail Challenge especially for younger juniors (mass start, yellow standard); more experienced juniors might like to run the 6k or even the 10k, which will both involve easy navigation.  All juniors will receive a Sporting Champions memento.   Bring along your maps from recent races, as you will be able to discuss your routes and techniques with Helen.   Other GB Squad members including Heather Monro are also entered for the Trail Challenge races and will be available to give help and advice.  

• 10.45 Helen will start the Mini Trail Challenge  
• 11.15 approx start of 10k race
• 11.25 approx start of 6k race  
• 11.30-12.15 fun orienteering exercises  
• 12.30 prize giving - lots of prizes!  
• 12.45-1.15 Helen will talk about her orienteering career, training, successes and preparation for the World Cup being held in the South-East in April/May 2005.  Plus question and answer session on routes, techniques, training etc.   For details of the Trail Challenge races, please go to www.sloweb.org.uk   It would be helpful if you could let me know in advance if you are coming!  And if you have a question you would like to put to Helen, please send it to me in advance at the email address below.  

Look forward to seeing you on 3rd Jan.  

Best wishes
