Training Update

Training is back at UQ!
A reminder that we are back to our regular training sessions of Tuesday and Thursday nights. We are also returning to our normal ground, UQ Oval 7, Coleridge Street, St Lucia. Please bring both football boots and running shoes to all sessions, as some running sessions may occur on the road or other hard surfaces.

First whistle each training night will go at 5:50pm and the second will go at 6:00pm. All players are to have finished their 2 laps and full stretches BEFORE the first whistle goes. Remember to check the board and sign the attendance register before each training also.

From now and until the end of the season, if you are unable to attend training for any reason you must get into contact with your regular coach. Until I update the website with contact details for all the coaches, please feel free to contact myself on 0422-494-701. Make sure if you text that you state who you are!

Regards,
Scott Young

All players are reminded to check the whiteboard for specific information each night at training.

Final Training for 2009

Pre-Christmas training will wrap up next Thursday with a short, sharp 1 hour session on the track, followed by a couple of quiet beverages down the RE.

Please ensure you bring a change of clothes so that you can join us down the pub for a beer.

Pre-Christmas Training has kicked off.

admin — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:31:34 +0000

Excellent numbers last night for the first session for the upcoming 2010 season.

Some old and new faces were amongst to 40 odd players who attended last nights session at Oakman Park. Great to see club stalwarts Joe Wurf, Ant Bix and Pants back down and on the track after some time away from the club.

Even the heavy rain failed to dampen spirits as the Parksey put the group through its paces for a solid one hour session.

With an announcement on the coaching staff for 2010 expected shortly we hope to continue the momentum leading up to the Christmas break.

Pre-Christmas Training Starting Next Week!

scottyoung — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 05:20:39 +0000

Thank-you to the 35+ players who could make it to the players BBQ 3 weeks ago. It was a great success with all UQ players committed to raising the bar for season 2010. Taking ownership within the playing group is the first important step in this.

In order win the premiership next year we will begin preparing next Tuesday night.

With the help of Scotty I have arranged for us to have use of Oakman Park in Toowong. This is a significant advantage as many clubs can not get on a ground until early next year.

Pre season training will be running for 4 weeks from Tuesday November 17th until Tuesday 15th December where we will have a X Mas break up after training.

In addition there is a large number of players training on Saturday mornings. There will be more details to follow on this.

Whilst the coaching selection process is ongoing, Tim Parkes will be running the fitness component of training and Ian Carter will be helping with skills and player development.

Details:
Where: Oakman Park
Address: Union Street, Toowong
Time: 5.45 for a 6.00pm start sharp.
Bring: Towel and runners as there will be no football boots permitted on the ground! (Note also that we must stay clear of the Cricket pitch at all times as well.)

One night a week is not a large commitment. I would expect all players looking to improve themselves and the club to be there. If you’re injured you can still participate.

It is likely that we do not have all the players e-mail addresses so can everyone please ensure that all Red Lions know about the preseason start.

If there are any questions you can contact the following people:

Matthew Stewart: 0421 748 084
Luke Wray: 0402 042 171
Aaron Connolly: 0408 916 957

See you all Tuesday.
