This time the format was a little different: 12 Tables, one Coach each table with their specialised skill, 3 players per table, rotating around from one table to the next to experience each skill.

After that, a break for some light lunch, followed by match skills and advanced skill for selected players.

Congratulations to Nic Tilkeridis who took out the Champion Match of the Day (pitty his boomerang skills weren't as good).

And a special thanks to Bruce and his gang for another enjoyable, fun and entertaining day sharing their skills with the players.

Bruce Carter and son Craig Carter - Coaching Day

The coaching day held on Sat 20th January at our stadium was a huge success, with around 36 players (participants).

Everyone appreciated the expertise, skill, fun and enthusiasm that both Bruce, Craig and assistants were able to display and their coaching expertise in assisting all of those attending.

It was also nice to see some players from Benalla and Yarrawonga take this opportunity to participate and improve their skills.

We also wish Bruce well with his current condition and that he has a speedy recovery.

Thanks also go to:

• Bruce's assistant coaches
• BDTTA coaches and players assisting
• Morrey for his assistance on the day.
