COACHING AFTERNOON AT THE WILLOW.

On Saturday18th July 2009 nine petanque players from Little Oakley village attended a coaching afternoon at the Willow Leicester. We all enjoyed the session and found it very beneficial to both experienced and new players, we allways find our game improves by being coached by some of the best British Patanque Association coaches in the midlands. The team led by Richard Pratt, who last year attained his international coaching badge in Marseilles France, asissted by Tony Moulder and Lisa Edminton both first class English international players. Petanque is an amature sport and the coaches give their time free, so we each made a donation to the East Midlands Petanque Association which will be put towards equipment for junior coaching.

BARRY.
