Training Tips: 

  • Be creative with the structure of your practice times by using a combination of in person training, virtual training and general fitness training. 
  • Train the same hours each week but this will be a mix of virtual and in-person. 
  • Make it clear that there is no penalty for missing a training session and that if an athlete, or any member of their family does not feel well, they should stay at home.
