- Training Camp is Finally Upon Us!
Happy Wednesday! It’s time for excitement in Firebirds Nation; training camp starts today! In around a week, we’ll have the final roster of the Firebirds that you’ll see taking the court many times this season.
Today, I will talk a lot about training camp and what we’re doing. Let’s jump right in!

What We’re Doing at Training Camp
Another year, another training camp upon us! Training camp is always a good way to gauge how good the team will be any given year, and in every year I’ve been with the team, they haven’t disappointed. On Friday, I’ll have pictures and videos for you, but today, I’m just going to outline the itinerary:
Wednesday:
The official start of training camp, Wednesday just has an 8 PM evening practice. However, things start to ramp up on Thursday.
Thursday:
On Thursday, everyone in boot camp…I mean Firebirds training camp is up at 6 AM for a morning track workout. As soon as that’s done, everyone heads over to Marsh Creek for an on-court workout, followed by some lifting at our new partner, NC Fit.
Then, there’s regular evening practice at 9 PM. Thursday is definitely one of the more intense days of Firebirds training camp.
Friday:
Friday morning also starts with a 6 AM workout; however, this workout is in the pool, and not on the track. Immediately after the pool workout, there’s a shooting workout for the team at Marsh Creek, followed by even more training at NC Fit!
Taking mercy on the players, Friday’s evening practice is at 7:30 PM, meaning they’ll have more time to get home and rest before the final day of training camp.
Saturday:
Saturday officially concludes training camp with the inter-squad scrimmage. Here, coaches will take note of how players perform in 5v5, and make final decisions on the team. The official roster will be released on Sunday, which means next Monday, I get to tell you guys all about the team for this upcoming season!
