Five Performance Cells
across England have been successfully launched as part of the
England ExCell Programme and the British Judo Association is pleased
to announce the launch of two Cells in the West.
The England ExCell programme
was launched in 2009 with the first pilot being in the North West,
with the aim of ensuring that players develop technically, increase
their training volume and access to quality practice in order
to nurture and then transfer successfully to the Great Britain
programme through the performance pathway.
Matt Divall, England Excel
Co-ordinator is pleased with the progress the programme has made
and said, “The England ExCell’s are definitely making a difference
and I’m sure that with the great work being delivered by the coaches
working within the ExCell’s, that will continue. The programme
is very player centred and we are making high quality sessions
as accessible as possible.
We have learnt a lot from
previous launches and I can see the England ExCell West being
a great success in the same way.”
The first of the two ExCell’s
to launch is in the 'North' of the Western Area and will be at
the University of Bath on Tuesday 8th February 7.30-9.30pm. The ExCell
sessions will then run every week on a Tuesday, allowing quality
contact time on a week to week basis with players identified from
the England Squad programme and players from the area.
The second cell in the
'South' of the Western area will launch on the Wednesday 9th March
from 7.00 – 9.00pm at Plymouth Judo Club and will run every fortnight.
The sessions at the two
locations will have regular contact from England staff, who will
work in co-operation with support staff and area coaches with
the aim to improve the technical levels of those in attendance.
The two hour sessions will include Randori opportunities in addition
to technical work.
The West joins the North
West, Midlands and South East Areas in the England ExCell structure.
The sessions are focused on players aged 12years and above with
a minimum grade of 10th Mon.
