12 and Under Trial
Sunday 1st March 2009, 1.45-3.00pm - Uni Pool

Each girl will be assessed on the following:

• Timed Swim – 200m (8 lengths of Uni pool)- may be done on a different session due to time
• Short Routine – taught on the day of the trial
• No arm and Single arm eggbeater travel ½ length – aim to have clavicles dry, arm extended, hips under body
• Inverted Tuck demonstrating support skull – hold for 5 seconds
• Right splits on land
• Right bent knee and ballet leg hold – long enough to see position
• Hanging inverted vertical

We are aware that the Novice girls will find these more challenging and this will be addressed during the trial. Girls will have chance to practise the points in red at training sessions

(Please also note that current skills level will also be taken into consideration).

We are looking to split girls into the following teams:

• Novice Team (training at the Uni pool either Mon or Wed)
• 12 and Under Recreational – A Team and B Team (training Tues at Bristol South)
• 12 and Under Competitive Free Team* (training Sun at Uni pool)

 *The competitive team will depend on whether we have enough girls with the appropriate skill level (2) and this team may also train with the A team.

Any Problem speak to Laura, Helen or Katie
