I've been going to the gym 2 or 3 times a week every week since the season finished, but I think the training should be there and available to the girls who wouldn't necessarily do any training throughout the summer otherwise. the display we did at ryhthmns has made me realise how much I miss the team already!<BR/>JessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23345682.post-13502279972308604872008-07-12T22:06:00.000+01:002008-07-12T22:06:00.000+01:00We have been doing light 'fitness' based training ...We have been doing light 'fitness' based training during the summer both during the week and at weekends. As we are still a very new team this allows the squad to spend a bit of time together as well as work on skills and fitness.<BR/>Also it's a good time to get new players interested and basic skills worked on before the tackle and contact aspects come in.<BR/>Also from a club point of view it means there are people still there and involved and requenting the bar so we maintain income during the closed season.<BR/><BR/>So from our point of view it's a bonus.spikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556429218307549601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23345682.post-55813674184136470342008-07-12T11:56:00.000+01:002008-07-12T11:56:00.000+01:00i think training through the summer seriously affe...i think training through the summer seriously affects our performance in the beginning of the season and the first few matches. i know that a lot of clubs have already started training therefore they are going to be a lot fitter than us already. most of the girls i have spoken to are wanting to do some form of summer training, and wanting to be at the best of their fitness for the beginning of the season. i know that i do. <BR/>thats my view anyway.<BR/>rosie xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
