Preseason 2012, those two words that I know you are pumped to hear after last year. What a great  achievement going up to State League 2, so many players working hard, having some fun and striving for us to achieve. Preseason is open to all, men, women and juniors.

Any players wanting to be involved in the State League Squad/Pen teams will be expected to be involved in all Preseason training sessions with skills training starting in March. Until then training sessions will be more fitness/strength based with emphasis of speed/agility and fun blended to provide harmony.

And not to be too obvious but please endeavour to be at which ever venue you are expected to be at 15 mins before the start time so we can all start on time… and please call if for some strange reason you can’t make a session. We are committed to making this the best pre-season ever for you, so we expect you all to make the effort as well. Bring water and a towel to all sessions…

Any queries, problems or if you want a chat about the pre-season program Call Dan on 0432 711 040 Note: the sessions will vary; variety is the spice of life.

SO…can I suggest that for 1^st team players you should be doing some sort of fitness now…playing a game of summer hockey, going for a run, riding a bike or swimming at least once or twice a week…

(please note every session below will be 7:30-9pm)

FEB:
2^nd/ 7^th/9^th/14^th/16^th/21^st/23^rd (Tues/Thurs combos) we will be doing agility, strength & speed sessions. Opposite Milanos(near South Road.), Beach Rd, Brighton.

There will be some preseason games during March & April…to be advised when all fully sorted!

Get into it this year, we have worked so hard for the past 3 years to go up let’s have areal crack and finish as high as we can…i will reward those who make an effort. for the 1sts players, being at every training session possible is a must…you have to show your commitment to the club, your coach and your teammates…no excuses…
