Harlequin Ladies Football Club held their monthly Girls Coaching Day for young rugby players as part of the NEC Harlequins Community Programme on Saturday 1 October 2005 writes Mel Antao.

Members of the Harlequin Ladies squad were on hand to coach girls of all abilities from ages 7-17 yrs. The morning's programme encompassed a combination of handling, running and introduction to tackling drills and gave all attendees the opportunity to stay and cheer on their heroes and heroines in the NEC Harlequins v Doncaster and Harlequin Ladies v Ipswich matches later on that day.

Michelle Kendell, Youth Co-ordinater said "The day went really well and all the girls and their parents had a great time. We are looking at linking as many of our monthly coaching days with the Quins Community Programme. Harlequins are heavily committed to rugby in the community and our girls' development days are helping us to establish links with local schools and clubs across a spectrum of age groups."

The next Girls Coaching Day will be held on Saturday 5th November 2005. Contact Michelle Kendell - Youth Co-ordinater at quinsladies@hotmail.com for further information.
