As you are all aware, the club will be once again competing in the amateur premier league after being crowned Division 1 Champions for the 2010 season. This means that, in order to be competitive, we'll need to be fitter and stronger than in past seasons. This also applies to the Metro and Division 5 squads; after a couple of settling-in seasons the club really wants the D5 squad to compete for promotion in 2011.
So, pre-season training will start a couple of weeks earlier than usual this coming season. The first training session will be Tuesday 18th January and we'll have intraclub friendlies on January 23rd and 30th and aim for proper practice matches from Sunday 6th February. We will try to keep pre-season training as interesting and varied as we can. Let Mike Jennings (0408 916 520) or Tom Griffiths (0419 892 130) know if you have any suggestions for pre-season training or squad bonding exercises.
The club is considering a couple of options with regards to Premier League squad coaches and will make a decision on this some time during pre-season. Tom Griffiths will once again provide support to the first team coach and Tom will be running pre-season until that appointment is finalised.
