Hurricanes' Youth Practice

After getting back a little late from Malmö last night after the soccer match, I had another late, albeit relaxing start to the day today.

The only thing on the agenda for today was going to the Hurricane's youth practice to help out.

I made my way to Göingevallen in the evening and was happy to see a number of kids and quite a few 'Canes waiting at the field to start the practice session.  The kids were broken up into two groups based on their age.  Jonas Grip, Shawn Cordeiro, and Uffe Palmbrink were working with the U13 group and Johan Persson and Pär Danielsson were working with the older group, whom I also assisted.



This was the second session for the newly started Hurricane's youth program.  These first few sessions are focused on giving the kids a taste of many aspects of American football and getting them used to some of the different skills that are necessary for success.  We worked on some agility drills, throwing and catching, route running, and basic blocking.  Future sessions will be more technical and position specific.

It's exciting to see the Hurricane's club continue to grow.  I've really come to enjoy the players and organization here in Hässleholm and look forward to hearing about continued successes!
