Cats to hit Coffs Harbour for pre season

From December 12-20 the team will train at C.ex International Stadium and the Elite Training Facility at Novotel Pacific Bay Resort, previously utilised by the Wallabies and other elite sporting organisations.

All 46 players will attend the camp with 1-8 year players attending the full camp and 8+ year players arriving on December 14.

Chris Scott and the club’s extended coaching staff will also be in attendance.

“As a club we are looking forward to a change of setting for our pre-season training camp,” football manager Neil Balme said.

“Heading to Coffs Harbour to utilise their impressive facilities will be beneficial for all involved.”

All football sessions at C.ex Stadium will be open to the public with training on Thursday December 19 to include a signing session and player meet and greet.

The Cats have already made a significant contribution to AFL in NSW with Geelong legend and dual Premiership captain Tom Harley leading the way in this state as General Manager of AFL NSW/ACT.
