ASTON MANOR UPDATE
Winter 2021 Update
With the current restrictions in place we are unfortunately unable to confirm any arrangements for either youth or senior nets due to the continued closure of the venues we use for coaching and nets. This is of course extremely frustrating, but totally understandable and out of the control of all involved. As soon as there is any change to the circumstances, we will update everyone via all of the communications links we have, Website, Facebook, social media and WhatsApp groups. But for now we do not anticipate any changes to this until at least the February half term break.
Season 2021 Update
Over the Winter months we have been extremely progressive with our plans and have continued to develop the planned partnership with Birmingham City University. This is an extremely exciting partnership that will provide both AMCC and BCU with what we hope will be a long-term relationship to improve coaching, fitness and playing opportunities. As well as support from BCU students and in turn the use of the BCU facilities at the Doug Ellis Centre in Perry Barr, the BCU crocket team will be playing their home games at Colin Smith Memorial Ground during the Summer. We are also currently finalising another positive partnership with Broadway School. Having been commenced initial discussions at the end of 2020 we are now confirming the plans for AMCC coaches to support the pupils at Broadway School and in particular the establish an Academy with the 6th Form sports function. Faisal Shahid will be leading on this and the follow on Summer coaching and support programme which will see further coaching during the early part of the season and hopefully the school age group teams using the club and facilities as its base for games. Finally – No, we have not been standing still! We can now also announce our agreement with the Coach Assist programme. Further details will be added separately, but all the coaching staff and committee are massively excited that we will be using the coaching support videos and facilities over the Summer. The package will also include free access to all paid up members – youth and seniors to allow each player to view the online coach programmes. The programme looks absolutely superb and we can’t wait to get going. For now, we can only wait – but as a committee and wider club we wish everyone well, please keep safe – we look forward to us all getting back together “down at the Manor” soon.
