An open training session and free junior clinic headline the Sydney Swans AFLW team's Community Camp schedule in Coffs Harbour.
The team will spend three days in the Coffs Harbour region from Friday July 4 to Sunday July 6, engaging with the local community, training and completing team bonding activities as part of their pre-season preparations.
On the Friday, the team will visit local schools and participate in story time at the local library, as well as being put through their paces in a gym session. The camp will culminate in an open training session on Saturday at C.ex Coffs International Stadium from 11.30am to 1.30pm, followed by a FREE clinic and signing session from 2pm to 3.30pm.
Senior coach Scott Gowans said the camp would have a focus on community engagement and team bonding.
“The team is really looking forward to heading to Coffs Harbour to spend time with some of our regional supporters, in what should be a fantastic weekend,” Gowans said.
“We’ve had a great start to the pre-season, the players are working hard, and the camp will be a great opportunity to further team bonds and connections.
“It’s a bye weekend for some of the local teams so we encourage the Coffs community to come out to get a footy fix and mix with our elite athletes.”
AFL North Coast will also hold a Girls Only Holiday Program, umpiring and coaching workshops over the weekend.
