HORSEBALL TRAINING
How often is
training?
Where do we train?
What do we
do in training?
Horseball is split into beginner and returner sessions and we have started to introduce a more structured system so that teams of players can play together consistently.
In the beginners session you will get a feel for riding with your stirrups strapped together, with knotted reins and with minimal use of your hands. You'll practice passing the ball between players in walk and trot, shooting from halt and while moving and eventually how to pickup from halt and then from walk.
Once you move up to the experienced sessions you'll be passing more quickly in trot and canter, learning the tactical elements such as how to defend and attack, and you'll learn how to pickup in trot and canter.
How do I sign up?
Training this year is every Thursday during term time 5-6pm and 6-7pm and each training session costs £20, payable via the tab on the SU website. You will be asked on the sign up form which session time you would prefer though we cannot guarantee this.
Training is at Long Lane equestrian Centre
