Preparations for the 2017 season began on November 20, 2016.
After the second consecutive title of Champions of Ukraine, our team had the opportunity to train in the large game hall of the school №12 in Irpin. The conditions were just wonderful. In addition, we will be able to hold trainings in the weightlifting hall of Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.
In the 2017 season, the team of KSK-CYSS Irpin will play in the age category of 14-15 years old (born in 2002-2003). This means that 13 players will play on the field, and the field itself will be larger, we are gradually approaching adult rugby!
During the period from December 10 to March 10, 2017, more than 40 training sessions were held in the weightlifting hall.Complexes of exercises on development of the basic groups of muscles were used, counters, ladders, barriers, rubber, etc. began to be used.
All the efforts of winter training were aimed at developing sharpness, speed, coordination and, of course, net speed. Circuit training was very effective, both with your own weight and with the weight in the weightlifting hall. On February 10, physical training coach Yevhen Fedorovych Grabovetsky started working with the team.
In February 2017, we held two sparring trainings with the Kyiv-Darnytsia team.
