Pre-season training 2007

2007 will be a challenging year for all sporting clubs due to drought affected sporting grounds. Glen Eira Council, along with most other municipalities in the state, are monitoring the situation closely and, up until now, have banned all pre-season training on any of their parks and ovals. Fines of $250 per infringement are being imposed to any club flouting these requirements.

As of Monday 05 March, we have been allocated three sessions for pre-season training
on Glen Eira sports grounds, though limited to two hours per session (see park layouts below).

The grounds are:

Duncan McKinnon - North oval
Mondays 17:30 - 19:30
Duncan McKinnon - North oval Tuesdays 17:30 - 19:30
Caulfield Park - Oval 2
Wednesdays 17:30 - 19:30

The earlier time has been chosen as days are getting shorter and lighting is not available.

It may not seem much, but remember, it is better than nothing. For the moment our focus will be on age U11 upwards.

The start of the season proper will see a revision of the above, all dependent on weather and ground conditions. For our part, the most important factor is do not use boots with stops - runners only!

We are fortunate in that a number of older age group teams have been able to train at some of the local schools and we thank those organisations for their support.

Simple ground rules (all venues):

  • Stick to allocated times and venues
  • No soccer boots - runners only
  • Keep away from any worn areas of ground
  • At Caulfield Park, keep off turf wicket
  • At South Oakleigh Primary, do not play on the main pitch
  • At South Oakleigh Primary, do not park in the car park
  • Any conflict - talk and resolve - get on or make a phone call (Club phone 0418 316 492)
  • Remember - these will be the good old days one day
