At this time of year, Aussie Rules clubs the world over are getting back into off-season training. Major AFL Clubs take the opportunity to use this time to go abroad and hone themselves in different environments, Collingwood go to Colorado to work at altitude, this year North Melbourne went to the colder climate of Utah and Richmond are currently in New Zealand working on fitness and team building via some extreme sports.

This weekend’s weather in Scotland afforded the Glasgow Sharks the chance to train in some unusual conditions as well. With at least 4 inches of Snow covering the Sharks regular training venue at Glasgow Green, this Sunday’s session was less ball work and more snowball work!!

Sharks co-captain Adam Jack said that heavy snow under foot had been good conditioning work for the team, making it much harder for them to run and making accurate skills more important than ever.

Some of the younger Sharks took the opportunity to build a new draft recruit for the team. As you’ll see from the pictures he was doing well until Jacko tackled him.
