Pre-season training HAS STARTED!!!. Please bring a water bottle to all sessions and if you wish, swimmers and towel for afterwards if the pool is available. NO FOOTBALL BOOTS. Due to drought and grounds availability, we are again forced to train at some unusual times. Please keep this in your wallet.

We have both indoor and outdoor areas booked so there will be NO RAINED OUT SESSIONS. REGO FORMS WILL BE AT ALL PRE-SEASON TRAININGS NEAR THE BBQS NEXT TO THE RUNNING TRACK & AT THE STATE HOCKEY CENTRE WHEN WE MOVE THERE. PLEASE SIGN REGO FORMS EARLY – WITHOUT DOING THEM YOU ARE UNINSURED. The two forms (are pre-filled and you only need to check details and sign them – it takes all of 2 mins.

 Here are the training plans. *** PLEASE NOTE TIMES FOR EACH SESSION ***
