Coaching and development opportunities

Saturday coaching sessions: 

Every second Saturday from Mid-May to September we run coaching sessions at Marsh Farm. There are two groups: 

  • The Start2Fish programme is perfect for youngsters starting out in fishing.. We provide all the tackle and bait – all you need to do is come along and give it a go! Catch your first fish, feel the thrill of a strong tench pulling on your pole, learn about baits and tactics. The coaching team this year will be led by Kevin Holcombe, fully qualified Level 2 coach and well respected local all-round angler.

> Parents must stay with their children during the sessions and are welcome to join in and learn how to fish too!

Coaching is tailored to your individual skill level and the team is led by Trevor Haskell. Trevor is a fully qualified angling coach and trained teacher who has a formidable track record in matches at Marsh Farm.
