Pre-Season Training
We are now two weeks into senior pre-season training and it's been very pleasing to see over 50 different players hit the track over the 4 sessions, with each session averaging 30. It has also been great to see a number of new faces at the club. Players were pushed hard from the outset, with a good mix of skill drills and running coupled with hurdles, boxing and skipping. Despite every session being intense there appears to be a significant amount of character amongst the group, as everyone has toughed it out and found a way to get through. The vibe has been incredibly positive, which augers well for the year ahead!

Five local businesses contributed $250, and another $500, to buy raffle tickets - and make up the final $1750 - to win a Gold Coast Suns guernsey signed by NRL convert Karmichael Hunt.
