Everyone will have to work hard and develop a clear understanding of our game plan and structures. All player’s have a responsibility to attend every session and make a valuable contribution, this will create a positive challenging environment.

The above table is a simple outline of all training sessions, dates, times and venues. They are not tablets of stone and may change, you will be informed by the coaches/management, when this happens. It will be your responsibility to make sure that you are aware of any alterations. Failure to keep in touch and up to speed, will have a negative effect on your conditioning and your chances of selection.
