THE COACH EXPECTS THE HOCKEY PLAYERS TO BE FIT AND ENERGISED

Coach Graham Reid expects the players to come back to the National camp fit and energised after the much needed three week break in the end of the year. The fitness of the players, according to Reid, had been at a high during the last National camp, when all of them successfully passed the Yoyo test and other procedures.
