Cabana Bar

• Club phone number – 9906 6400
• Northern Suburbs Rugby and the Cabana Bar are one and the same – It is all Northern Suburbs Rugby Football Club
• Treat as you would treat your own house and respect others who use this facility
• As rugby players when you pay your subscriptions you become a full member and can enjoy the privileges associated with membership
• Some new additions to the Cabana bar with a focus towards rugby are the Rugby Room and the Norths Gym
• For all younger players it is a licensed venue and as such when you are in the bar area you need to be accompanied by an adult

Rugby Room

• The Rugby Room can be found behind reception after coming through the main entrance of Christie St
• This area will be used for meetings, video and alternative trainings

Norths Gym (NCE)

• The Gym is located in the lower area of the Cabana bar –Access is from Lithgow St and there will be a side door open for easy access to this area
• Conditioning will occur in the bottom level car park accessed by carpark entrance of Christie St
• Gym access hours outside training times – TBC
• Parking is available on Lithgow and Christie St – it is metered parking so pay attention to the signs as the area is patrolled regularly
• All players are to bring a towel and water bottle to gym sessions –
• There is cold water in the rugby office – if you empty the bottle replace it – DO NOT DRINK FROM THE TAP
• All players need to record their name on attendance sheets in GYM for Monday, Wednesday and Thursday sessions – a role will be taken at the Tuesday field session by a manager

WHY

1. It gives individual coaches and Scott Fava the knowledge that players are attending sessions; acquiring the knowledge and S & C that will ultimately affect selections next year.
2. We are tracking players from the offseason programme; into the preseason program; into trials; to keep track of injury prevention measures that hopefully will reduce our injuries on the field in 2012. It is all interlinked and those you do not attend 90% of the off season program may find themselves in remedial classes in preseason & trials
• The gym needs to be kept tidy with all weights returned, lights and air conditioning turned off at the completion of trainings – no exceptions
• The gym is a part of the Cabana Bar – your club – and should be respected at all times

Field Sessions

• Forsyth Park - Montpellier St, Neutral Bay
• Tuesday from 6pm
• Some field work may occur at Mondays session – this will occur at either Gore Hill Oval or Naremburn Park – coaches will advise

Communication

• Players must communicate any non-attendence to sessions – non attendance must be communicated to the Head Coach - all relevant coaching contact numbers are provided at the top of list document.

Training venues are spread across North Sydney.
