Off season goes from strength to strength

The Forth Valley Fusion are using the off season to good effect at the Pitreavie Performance Centre, Dunfermline, as they complete week 4 of their 15 week off season Strength & Conditioning program.

Coaches are extremely pleased with their development and the effort the players are putting in to excel as athletes and individuals.

Coach Bramwell commented, "It's great to see the guys doing so well and they are clearly enjoying it. Not only are they getting stronger and fitter, but it's a great team building exercise as well, keeping the players together during the off season."

Pre season practice starts on Wednesday 14th January. If anyone aged 16-18 would like to play with the Fusion in our 2009 season, they can get in touch with Headcoach Edmonston

And they’ll look to pull in big home crowds in September with two glamour friendly matches against Gateshead Senators and Manchester Titans.

The Duloch Campus will be the base for a centre of excellence, run by the Forth Valley American Football Organisation.

The youth team is open to players aged 16-19 and, as well as tapping into Dunfermline’s growing population, will be fed players from Fife Fire’s juniors. Read more>
