Training Methods

Put simply, FTS training is built on hard, but quality sessions. We use a variety of cross training methods which assist greatly in times of injury, and also help to keep athletes fresh at training and competition. We do track sessions, grasshills, sandhills, stair running, pool sessions, weight training, cardio & boxing. These are all scheduled dependant on the time of the year and the outcomes required.

Training Days

Junior Squad training days are Monday and Wednesday afternoons at Hunter Sports Centre.  However, please check if you haven't been for a while as it may change.  The training days for senior squad can vary with sessions/locations but they train Monday to Saturday with Sunday generally a total rest day.
