So the pre season schedule is planned and has been distributed to the boys. Hopef ully they are looking forward to it. Its always nice to get a break from football but you never want it to be too long! Well I don’t anyway! Hopefully the guys have had the good sense to stay in shape and do some training over the break. I know that some of the guys have been playing regularly and some have been out pounding the streets (always a good idea to stay in shape) and I am sure quite a few have been in the gym.
We are doing things a bit differently this year which is great as its always good to freshen things up. We have a new venue as Ruchill Pitch is finally out of bounds as its being built on. (Another grass pitch bites the dust). But we are moving onwards as despite it being sad to lose the venue we now have the opportunity to try something new. Kirklee pitch is an excellent grass surface in a good location. The only downsize is that there are no hills!
Also, we are going to train all 3 teams together for the 1st two weeks at least. This allows the guys to get to know each other a bit better and also to experience different coaches and their methods. And; this year’s training programme has been designed by Davie Kelly, this also will give things a freshness and the opportunity for a new experience.
So, pre season looms again and as much as it often seems that things stay the same, things are in fact constantly changing. I am sure we are are looking forward to it!
