In an effort to coordinate individual activities and to perhaps encourage and inspire a more productive winter polo programme for MCR, can we debate then formalise a set of basic and logical winter training activities suitable for those wanting to improve for the 2012 season of tournaments.
My suggestion is that we set aside the first half hour of Thursday at PH for a regular set of individual and team drills/exercises to improve skills, fitness and interteam play, before then playing competitive team games for an hour. The last hour can revert to social throw ins for us to all wind down and restore relations(!) and of course those that don't want to 'train' can arrive after the first half hour.
If we get a list of those who are in support of this (or something like this), we can then shape the activities that we believe will work for us both collectively and individually and, subject to us committing and repeating them through the winter, will pay dividends next year.

As an extension of the above, would we be be interested in taking some 'MCR travelling polo camps' to LDN and other polo cities during the winter ie. taking our complete teams and arranging with those cities to be able to play a day or two of team games (primarily so that we get to play a variety of teams over the winter period rather than ourselves repeatedly).
I'd also like to suggest we diarise a monthly weekend road or MTB ride of a decent duration and designed to improve stamina and sociability - anyone up for that idea?
