The Greater Western Sydney GIANTS will return to the Sunshine Coast for a pre-Christmas training camp as they step up their campaign for 2015.

The entire football department of about 70 players and staff will travel north from December 14-20and will be based at the Noosa Tigers AFL Club in Noosaville.

Head Coach Leon Cameron said: “The Sunshine Coast is an excellent location for our training camp as it gives our players an opportunity to train hard in warm, tropical conditions and build on their fitness as they prepare for the 2015 season.

“We really enjoyed our time there last year and felt it gave us an excellent fitness base as we prepared for the season. I would like to thank the Noosa Tigers for the chance to again use their facilities as well as the Noosa Council and Tourism Noosa for welcoming us.

“We are looking forward to getting up there and making the most of this opportunity to train hard and spend valuable time together before the Christmas break.”

CEO of Tourism Noosa, Damien Massingham said: “We are delighted to once again welcome the GIANTS to Noosa. Noosa is fast becoming known as a great training destination for elite athletes and the GIANTS training camp is a great opportunity to showcase the diversity of great facilities on offer in Noosa for sporting groups.”
