Ahead of the 2024 campaign, the Box Hill United Women’s side completed their first training session for the pre-season.

On a pleasant Monday night in Melbourne, it was a great chance to connect and regroup in a light session that mainly consisted of running and fitness testing.

The women will be slowly ramping up before the Christmas break in around a month’s time, with Head Coach Bobby Zdravkovski happy to see players returning in strong numbers, ready for a big summer.

“The numbers are up at this time of year which is fantastic to see,” he said.

“There are just a couple players missing through injury – one coming back from an ACL and another with a shoulder, but overall the squad is in good shape.

“The main thing is getting the bodies right with their conditioning base and the first 2-3 weeks will be taken slowly, but we’ll build the momentum from there.
