This past week, the Hamilton Wildcats AFC & the Aussie X Program teamed-up to run a 3-day instructional footy clinic at Saltfleet District High School in Hamilton. Over the 3-days, Aussie X instructor Dusty, along with Wildcat players Connor Lowry, Charles Thompson, Nick DiRago & Brett "Nuts" Aiken; put year 9-12 students through the paces in what from all accounts (in spite of the weather) was a smashing success!!!
Saltfleet District High School as a long history of talented sporting teams, which includes a very successful men's gridiron football & rugby program. The Saltfleet Storm men's rugby team won OFSSA Gold (Provincial High School Championship) in 2007 (finishing the season 23-0), so what better school to start our clinics at than one with such a strong athletics program and such close proximity to our home ground. Working with Phys-ed students from year 9 through to year 12m as well as a rugby focus class; all involved seemed to pick up the basic skills of the game very quickly and took to the tackling extremely well!!!
A special thanks goes out to Dusty from the Aussie X Program for putting together such fantastic drills, exercises and games for all the students involved; as well as to Phys-Ed Department Head Brian Fuller and all the Saltfleet student who took part in this event. We appreciate the opportunity we had to work with each of you, and definitely look forward to seeing MANY of you out at one/all of our upcoming indoor training sessions over the winter, or outdoors in the spring. The doors to the Wildcats Den is always open to new, interested players!!!
