Greater London Junior Development Squad

 

 

The Club hosted the first the Junior Development Squad, under a new initiative from National Development Officer, Paul Rees. The day was open to Junior Powerlifters in and around the division, and, in addition to Paul Rees, was overseen by  GB Senior Team Coach and Former World Champion, Tony Stevens, and current GB Team member, Ben Banks. Each of the twelve participants worked up to moderate weights in each of the three disciplines, receiving pointers and advice on techniques and training for each lift.

The Squad was open to all, with a full range of people in attendance, from those building up to their first competition, to those aiming to move up to the elite squad.

There are similar squads organised in other divisions, so contact Paul Rees, or email the Club for further details. Also, the Club will be looking to host another Development squad in the near future, so feel free to contact the Club if you are interested in attending.

Lastly, the Club is very grateful to the Foundation for Sports and the Arts for their financial contributions towards purchasing the equipment to support this and future squads.
