6th World Junior & Cadet Championships Morocco 2009
November 11th 2009 - 2nd Day in Rabat
Its starting to get hot in Morocco now so the squad trained only for an hour this morning.
It was busy at the training venue today with Japan, Iran, Ukraine, Egypt to name a few all going through their final preparations. Coaches were watching other countries squads and comparing notes while the England team had a debrief from Wayne Otto, who were then given their entry ID cards and told what is happening over the next 24 hours.
Ticky Donovan OBE also spoke to the squad giving them plenty of encouragement. The squad are relaxed and are now enjoying the sunshine while they can. The squad will meet up again tonight for dinner then an early night will ensue as the bus is leaving at 7.30am sharp to take them to the stadium tomorrow.
More later . . .
Well this is it, parents, families and supporters are starting to arrive, today is registration day at the HQ hotel, Sensei Wayne Otto is going to register the squad and delegation, hand in the England flag and collect all the necessary paperwork. The other coaches are taking the squad to breakfast and then to the training venue for some light training for those competing later in the week. The U21s will be taking it a little more easy as they compete tomorrow. More later . . .
