Pre-Season Training - Know and prepare for Your Enemy!
Ian training boxer Lenny Daws
As July 13th is only round the corner, and I’m sure you’re all like kids at Christmas having trouble sleeping because you’re so excited about doing the pre season training again, but if you haven’t started doing any training yet, get out and do a couple of runs a week or a couple of gym sessions (with around 20 minutes cardio in) in preparation.
A couple of things I’d like to mention prior to starting the sessions is although the club provides water bottles please bring your own preferably a litre bottle, there will be no drinks breaks during the training, you drink when you want to, please be prompt as we will start on time, and I’d like you to be warmed up properly, because there’ll be no stopping during the sessions as all rests between runs will be active rests.

Hammersmith & Fulham Ladies are looking for enthusiastic and committed people to join the club! We are a very sociable and lively team who train hard and play hard but who also enjoy some epic good times at the pub! It doesn’t matter what your level is and absolute beginners are more than welcome. We train on Tuesdays and Thursdays 7:30pm - 9pm at Hurlingham Park and we play on Sunday afternoons (but not every week). If you are interested in meeting new people, getting fit and playing the best sport ever, then get in touch with our Captain or Director, or just come down to a training session.
Last year’s season started off with some great news, in that we got promoted to the South East 1 league after an unbeaten season. More good news was that our Captain Sandy was expecting a baby! Bad news, she wasn’t allowed to play rugby while pregnant and had to step down. Luckily for the Hammers Bethan Roberts was ready and willing to take the reigns! The summer and early autumn was a period of change for the team as many of our senior players left town for sunnier climates. This meant that the Hammers needed to re-build and we struggled to win games in our new league. Bethan, having done great work as Captain moved down to Bournemouth in December, enter Captain number three Kat Butler.

A message from Ian, Mr Fitness Coach, about some pre-pre-season fitness!
A few of you have asked about gym workouts prior to pre-season, I know I’ve sent this one to a couple of you, but due to another few players asking John about sessions I thought you all might be interested. If you have any questions give me a shout.
