PRACTICE MATCHES & TRAINING
The practice matches scheduled for Wednesday, December 8 were postponed due to safety concerns related to the poor weather conditions in Western Victoria. The threat of flash flooding on the roads which many of the players and their families needed to use to get to and from Ballarat along with the possibility of lightning at the time the matches were scheduled to be played resulted in the decision to cancel the matches and training for this week.
The practice matches will now be played at Eureka Stadium on Wednesday, December 15 on the last training date for 2010. All other details as previously provided are unchanged. All players should be ready to go by 4:30pm as per a normal training session. It is extremely important that any players who are unavailable need to notify Tim Shearer as soon as possible as it will affect the selected teams. Similarly, any player who needs to specifically play in either the first match which will start at 4:45pm or the second match which will start at 6:00pm should advise at their earliest opportunity.
Players are reminded that jumpers will be provided but that they need to bring their own shorts, socks, boots and mouthguard please.
On Tuesday, December 14 there is an optional fitness testing session available to all squad members at Eureka Stadium. The Rebels U/16 squad is doing some fitness testing and there will be an opportunity for U/15 and U/14 squad members to do a 20m sprint test and another 1km time trial if they are interested. This is not compulsory but seen as a good chance for members of the two squads to see what is required as they progress along the Talented Player Pathway. Players interested in attending should notify Tim Shearer to get full details.
