Each player follows a hectic training schedule which is arranged around school or work hours. Individual training includes weight training twice a week before work or school and an individual skills session with the AIS coaches once a week. The players train as a team on weekdays from 5.00pm to 7.00pm and during school holidays they add a morning session as well.
Endurance running sessions often complement the winter training.
Games are generally played on the weekend. Overall, players train for up to 18 hours a week. The players undertake fitness testing once a month to evaluate their progress and make good use of the sports massage offered by the AIS Sports Medicine Centre. Training programs for juniors or beginners would be very different to this program. Ask your coach for a program suitable for your level.
