PRE SEASON TRAINING 04/05

Happy New Year !! I hope everyone enjoyed a safe and fun Xmas & New Years and we are all looking forward to the coming season. 2005 is a big year for the Norwood Football Club as it not only looks to consolidate its position is Division 2 but to become a force for the first time at this level. Preparation and a big pre-season is paramount in taking this step and a good group of players have already taken on the responsibility and put in hard work prior to Xmas. From the 8th of November to the 15th of December we conducted 17 training sessions which included specialised running, gym and plenty of ball work. For the group of players including a good number of under 18's & new recruits who did the bulk of these sessions i thank you. This has shown your dedication & commitment to improving both yourself & the Norwood Football Club. You have given yourself an edge over others already and it was great to see huge improvement in guys fitness and ball skills in just that short time, so i am sure those who have done the work to date can see how it works.

Training recommences on Monday 17th of January at the Norwood Oval at 6.15pm sharp and we will be continuing training on Monday, Wednesday & Friday nights. Hope to see you all there and look forward to working hard with you all to take us where we want to go. Lets hope we can get off to a good start, get this vital edge on other clubs and even more players show a commitment to themselves, their team mates and the club and get to training.

Reminder : Make sure players are wearing and bringing the correct attire to training. These include, runners, boots (when it becomes allowed), running shorts (no board shorts etc), bathers and towel.

Good luck to everyone and if any player has anything they wish to discuss please do not hesitate to come and talk to me.
