THE GREAT EDWARDIAN SURVEY

Which team do you play for?

Main reason for joining?

What do you enjoy most about the club?

How long have you been playing?

Do you attend the club socials?

Feedback on Socials Team building and mixed socials seem popular AP – to have a social secretary from each team next season, to form larger social committee More advanced warning of socials AP – Social dates will appear on-line from first month of season – 3 socials each half-season and early details published Non drink orientated socials AP – New committee to work with teams to create more sober social days out including activity days

Coaching Action Points New rules specify that we have to have a Level 2 coach at least “over-seeing” the session We hope to have professional coaching for the three coaching groups for next season – are actively recruiting to address this Specifically in the men’s section the following has been suggested: Combined training for at least half the training session; if the group splits a men’s 1 st team player will work with the other XIs on team specific exercises The men’s 1 st XI to pay £325 (almost 20% increase) as subscriptions for the year to reflect the increased coaching input they receive – to be paid by those playing at least a half season
