Women’s Training

PRE-SEASON TRAINING
Phase One: November – December

Phase One of Pre-Season Training typically starts mid-November and runs through until the Christmas break in December.  In this phase we train together as a team once a week at Wattle Park, with an emphasis on skills training and fitness work.

Phase Two: January Running Program
We provide all our women’s players with a professionally written running and conditioning program for January. The program is tailored and available available for all players in all three teams.

Phase Three: February – April
Locations: Ferndale Park, Nettleton Park, Wattle Park

Phase Three of Pre-Season Training typically resumes late January and runs two nights a week up until the end of March.

New Players Always Welcome!
To all new players, please just come along and introduce yourself and you will be made very welcome.


We have a very experienced coaching panel, and training is focussed on fitness,  skills development and learning. We encourage each player to develop and to strive to be the best they can, no matter their skill level.


SCHOOL’S IN AT FERNDALE PARK!
School is often in on Monday nights at Ferndale Park when special guests drop in to take women’s training. In 2019 Richmond VFL Captain and VFL Premiership player Steven Morris, Richmond AFL Premiership player Tom Lynch and Collingwood VFLW Premiership Coach Penny Cula-Reid all came to training and worked with our women’s teams.

THURSDAY NIGHT DINNER AT FERNDALE PARK
Once the season starts in April, its back to Ferndale Park every Thursday night for the shared player dinner and all the team announcements. Our Thursday night meals are lovingly prepared for our players by our wonderful team of kitchen volunteers.
