Rostrevor College Training 2010

The Adelaide Football Club trained at Rostrevor College as a part of the club’s initiative to train at local schools and colleges throughout the year. Six of the Rostrevor students including two from the Indigenous academy (Jack Hombsch, Michael Ialeggio, Nicholas Dinham, Daniel McCallum, Delahay Miller and Joshua Simpson) took part in training, watched by a large number of the students at the school’s main oval.

After the training session Neil Craig spoke to the football teams about Leadership and making the right choices, and he also spoke about the Adelaide Football Club’s Leadership program. Crows players Andrew McLeod, Jonathon Griffen and Jared Petrenko also talked to the Rostrevor College Indigenous Academy about life as an AFL Indigenous player.

Stephen Schwerdt, Adelaide’s Fitness Coach, also spoke to the students about training demands, fitness, nutrition, weights, training cycles, recovery, and the training programs at the club. Stephen also spoke about the difficulties faced by young footballers starting at an AFL club and the standard required to play in various positions.

Around 200 students from the Rostrevor Junior School were also given the opportunity to get autographs and photos with the playing group. Neil Craig presented a signed guernsey and a signed football to Principal Jeff Croser. Overall it was an excellent training session and the students really enjoyed training with their sporting idols.
