The guys are very grateful to their various sponsors and are working very hard to repay the faith that has been placed in them. The Academy is getting stronger; the players are very excited and have gone up many notches since last year.  Attendance has been ok and is getting better; the guys are constantly re-evaluating their efforts and finding ways of improving.

There has been the emergence of various leaders in the group. Young Steven Wynter has stepped up big time and is the most vocal player this year, he is definitely the life of the group. I am particularly impressed with Ryan Hall and young Kemar Leslie. Ryan’s overall effort in training has been inspiring to his fellow team mates; he constantly talks to and encourages them. As a young player he has all the necessary ingredients that if he remains humble and stick to his training routine he can go a far way. Kemar’s skill level for a big man is very encouraging and he can only get better.

We have been doing a lot of core skills with the emphasis being on quality passing and running correct lines. We are now starting to develop a couple of exit sets. The guys are very excited about this as they all stated today that this is the best session so far.

Stay tuned for the announcement of the HRL Academy captains for 2011 season………..
