Women's training - with several of the players away due to
holidays, work and re-location, you would think the session would
be lacking numbers, but not this year.
The Storm women's national league squad is already looking
packed and over twelve deep, and if the season goes like the way
the session finished then we are in for an entertaining year.
Todays session was a great session combining fundamental
work with defence. The fundamental part of the session was
led by recently appoint

Saturday training is somewhat of an amazing three hours to
watch, approximately ninety minutes of intense
fitness, followed by ninety minutes of shooting.
After the normal three circuits, several of the players
commented that they had started to find it easier, though admited
their legs were dead. To this Coach Brock offered a challenge
to the players - Do the circuit one last time but in reverse.
As always this one extra challenge is never mandatory, but as

Trials were this year all held on one day starting at 1pm for

between 3 and 5, when two courts were full of unde

May 31, 2009, 11:35 pmToday is a long day for the Coaches, starting at 1 through
till 9. Coach Brock had the sixteens working hard on defence
today, a tough session for the youngsters on yet another hot day
but once again the players responded well.
Coach Colbron had the girls academy concentrating on their
offensive production, which will be their biggest challenge in the
forthcoming friendlies.
Unfortunately the last session did not finish well for Coach
Bourne, after a good comeback season in 2008/09, after missing a
year with a

So it was 29 degrees outside City Academy,
and inside was even hotter, with all the fans and air
conditioning on.
Today was the first of the many open pre-season fitness
sessions for the players already committed to Storm for the 2009/10
season, and even in this heat the players worked hard.
I have to be honest I broke into a sweat watching the session,
but the effort put in by the players with out much encouragement
was impressive. Even when Coach gave the players an
