Training commences on Wednesday June 27th at Sportscover Arena (Elsternwick Park) at 6:00pm for a 6:15pm start in the lead up to the game.  The training schedule for this campaign is listed below. All sessions will require your normal club training equipment in terms of boots, jumper, shorts and socks. We also ask that you bring along and wear your club jumper for all sessions. At each training session a trainer and a physio will be available and you are required to attend even if you are injured, so that injuries may be monitored accordingly.   If you cannot attend training, please contact the Team Manager Jeffrey Jankie, on 0418 360 672 or [email protected] the coach Owen Lalor on 0438 879 282 or [email protected].

It is essential that players attend every allocated training session as there is not long to prepare for the game.  This shortened approach has proved successful in the representative campaigns of previous years, although complete commitment through the program is required to ensure optimal results. ALL players are required to respond to via email ( [email protected]) to indicate their availability for the campaign.
