Training days and times are organised by the coaches and parents. Every team trains at least once a week for approximately an hour at Belgenny Reserve or Nugget Beams Reserve. Junior division 1 and senior teams may train twice a week. It is the aim of every team for the training day to be held at a time that suits the coach as well as all the players.
