VET SPORT AND RECREATION 

VET Warm up and Cool Down With Richmond Football Club

On Tuesday 29th May, the Year 12 VET Sport and Recreation headed to Tigerland to find out some of their trade secrets. The focus of the visit related to a unit of competence they were studying title warm up and cool down programs.

 

The visit started with the class watching Dimma Hardwick taking the lads for some skills session out of the ground. We then headed into the inner sanctum spending some time in the players lecture theater. A couple of students sat in Dusty Martins seat whilst hearing from one of the club officials about what it takes to be a premiership team! 

The students then headed up the road to one of the training facilities used by the club where they undertook a fitness session in the altitude room which focused on warm up and cool down programs. Unfortunately, we ran short of time so students were unable to get in the ice baths!

 

A good time was had by all students and we hope the Tigers continue to do well this season... but not too well! Go the Kangaroos!
