In club chat between squads 2 and 3 we discussed:

• breathing routine: it’s important to maintain normal, even breathing between shots, and only hold for a couple of seconds before taking the shot.  
• squadding: from next week squad sheets will require squadding either all top mounds or all bottom mounds.  Please squad shoulder-to-shoulder (no gap between).  This assists coaches, who are scanning across shooters.  This is the way in which you will be shooting in competitions such as interclub.

Coaching will be from behind the mounds from next week.  Coaches will call your name (loudly) and advise adjustments twice.  Please do tell coach to repeat if you haven’t heard or unsure.

One-on-one coaching is also available if you are having issues - please don’t hesitate to ask Bex, Mark or Craig in the first instance for help.
