With the playing group divided into separate teams, the coaches joined a series of varying tests of skill and came out on top.
Players and coaches rotated through a selection of games, ranging from beach cricket, to touch football and a derivative of American football, played with a vortex and refereed by NFL enthusiast and West Coast strategy coach Phil Walsh.
High performance coach Glenn Stewart also excelled in official capacity, donning the black and white vertical stripes of a NFL referee to adjudicate the touch football.
Midfield coach Scott Burns was a stand-out, along with Peter Worsfold, when the coaches secured valuable points in their beach cricket encounter. They won a match that looked beyond them after Shannon Hurn and Luke Shuey had earlier pasted the bowling to all sand dunes on the beach.
But Burns, in particular, inflicted some pain on the players who bowled, after losing opening partner David Teague to an audacious, first-ball reverse sweep.
The beach games were a light introduction into what will be a physically and mentally challenging experience for the squad with the beach activities taking on a far more exhausting tone in the next few days.
The tests of endurance, stamina and strength will be interceded by other lighter challenges including a fishing competition, as well as several briefings around the team’s approach to the 2012 season.
