Typically each year the Lions begin preparations in January with pre-season training. Due to the short days at that time of year, we train initially once per week on weekends (in recent years at 11am on Sundays). Training continues once per week until the clocks go forward in mid April, and we shift to training twice per week, on Tues and Thurs evenings. All training sessions are held in Regents Park, in central London. As well as football / skills training, pre season typically includes fitness sessions (boxing, crossfit and running), a boot camp weekend away, pre season games (including local and international games), and many, many trips to the pub.
