The sun shone over Arden Street on Wednesday as North Melbourne had its first skills session of 2011.

Following a testing time trial the day before, the players enjoyed the opportunity to get their hands on the footy as coach Brad Scott took them through a series of drills focused on precision kicking and contested ball.

With a little over a month until the Kangaroos' kick off their NAB Cup campaign, every player was doing their best to impress as the battle for spots looms.
