All,  I hope that this message finds everyone well rested and eager for the start of our Fall 2008 season.  The Hibernians have a very competitive schedule; there are many tough matches but plenty of opportunity to go far into the EPRU playoffs. Because we are now playing a league schedule, every weekend is important in accumulating points that will affect our playoff seeding.   Below are some points of which you should be aware:

1. The Hibo’s first match is a non-league home game against Blackthorn on September 13.  Could there be a better way to tune-up for our season?  Our first league match is the following week, an away match against Second City Troop.
2. The first Hibernian practice will take place 7pm – 9pm at Fallsington Park on August 28.  This provides us five training sessions before our first match.  It is imperative for each serious player to attend every pre-season practice.  There are some drastic law changes that will be in effect and we will need time to incorporate them into our style of play. Remember, we start at 7:00pm with or without you.
3. I have attached a 4-week preseason workout for your use.  This workout is a derivative of one of the US National Team programs.  It’s likely that this will be a drastic change in training technique for most of us; you’ll note the premium placed on explosive, high-intensity / short-duration activity.  This produces much more applicable results then mindless gym sessions or jogging around your neighborhood.  Many of the days require both an AM and a PM session; try to keep them separate if you are able.  Not everyone will have access to all equipment mentioned, so substitute and adapt as best you can.  The program starts on August 17 and runs up until our first match.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.  I look forward to seeing everyone at some of the preseason activities that are being planned.
