Premier Division - 1st & 2nd Grade Training

The premier division squad pre season training kicks off this week with a 12 week program designed to have our 1st & 2nd grade players the fittest they have ever been heading into the 2012 season.

The fitness program is being run by a professional trainer and it is critical that all players wanting to play 1st or 2nd grade for Ryde in 2012 get along to these sessions which are held at Dunbar Park on Tuesday's and Thursday's.

These sessions are also open to lower grade players wanting to blow off the festive season cobwebs and we encourage as many of you as possible to come along.

Attached is the updated version of the pre season calendar including the dates designated for our pre season trials (please note there is no fitness training this Thursday, Australia Day). Please note all changes to the schedule have been highlighted in red.


Only 12 weeks to go until the start of the premier division season! See you at training.
