The EPA Junior Coaching Team held a coaching day on the weekend of 25th/26th April at Mansfield Petanque Club which provided a great opportunity for juniors to gain experience from a top International coach from Germany.
With the support of their parents, two of our juniors, Callum Slade and Morgan Pry, attended the course and by all accounts had a wonderful time and gained an awful lot from the weekend. It is extremely pleasing to see our juniors taking part in these events and we had all better watch out when they put their training to good use at the next regional qualifier !

Callum says . . . "The most amazing weekend meeting new people, making new friends and learning lots of new things in the world of Petanque. The opportunity to spend time with the England squad and to be taught by the German coach was amazing. I have improved on areas that I struggled with and improved on areas that I already thought I was ok at. So it was win win for me and hopefully for the Sussex juniors team too. It has given Morgan and I ideas on how we can improve our game and hopefully next year have another go at trailing for the England squad.
I thank Sussex for supporting Morgan and I to do the above and I would like to thank my Dad who has been brilliant for doing this with me and to Martin and Sylvie for the support they offer Morgan and me at every game we play."
Morgan says . . . "Saturday and Sunday were amazing sunny days which could only be described as bliss, because not only was the weather good but we got to play boule all day.After meeting Alex and the rest of the squad I could see why he was one of the best: he was charismatic and kind.
I can honestly see why each junior has been chosen for the squad, the amount of time they put in was clear to see and I hope next year I can call some of them my teammates."
