Players with 1-3 years of completed service with the Club participated in a variety of activities, challenges and training tasks at Thirteenth Beach Resort on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The group, including rising stars Trent Cotchin, Jack Riewoldt, Shane Edwards, Matthew White and Alex Rance, enjoyed a round of golf, completed a mini triathlon of beach running and swimming, and tested their minds with a team challenge around the Barwon Heads township.
The players also met with coach Terry Wallace, who offered feedback on issues relating to football performance.
Richmond Elite Performance Manager Matt Hornsby oversaw the mini triathlon, and was impressed with the output of the players in their first week back from the off-season break.
“Prior to the camp, our aims were to educate the 1-3 year players on the focus of the pre- season and what the Club expected of them,” Hornsby said.
“We were impressed by what we saw. We were only there for two days, but we definitely got what we wanted out of it.
“It was important for the young group to get away, get together and work hard. We want the players to continue to develop a stronger camaraderie when they train.”
Rance emerged as the winner of the beach challenge, followed by Cameron Howat, Andrew Collins, Cotchin and White.
