Training Ground & Shoe requirements
Due to access limitations as per the City of Melbourne ground allocations, most preseason training will be on the main oval at JJ Holland Park. Once the winter season allocations are activated (post 1st April) training will be on the Soccer pitch at JJ Holland Park.
For training in preseason on the main oval, YOU ARE REQUIRED to train in runners NOT soccer boots. Please bring your soccer boots just in case training is on the synthetic soccer pitch.
You are required to keep off the cricket pitches on both ovals until the end of the cricket season at the end of March.
