Octopush training times

University training

We currently have sports centre pool three times a week:

• Thursday: 21.00-22.00
  This will be a much more game-centric session, with some warmup/skills for only the first 20 or so minutes. This enables us to get the maximum amount of game time possible.
  Additionally, some weeks (if the divers are in the deep end) you can come an hour early to practise your flicking/puck control- be sure to check with both the Training Officer and the Octopush Officer before doing this.

 

• Friday: 12.30-14.00
  The pool is booked for two lanes for this session, which is dedicated to fitness and puck skills.

• Sunday: 16:00-18.00 
  As we have the whole pool for the entirety, this session will have a lot more fitness/exercises, and additionally will often feature games that are not entirely fluid- they will be broken up in order to practise specific techniques, positioning, and (unfortunately) how not to foul.

​External Octopush sessions

Many of us also attend Coventry Push Sessions, not affiliated with the university but a fantastic way to improve at the sport:

• Monday: 21.30-22.30

Sessions cost £4 an entry- in addition, transport there is generally via the X17 (from Leamington) or the 11 (from Campus). Ask anyone who you know is going, as generally you can easily find someone to travel with. Join the Coventry Triads Octopush club Facebook group here or find more information on their site here.

Other training

Some members of the club go for regular swims throughout the week- if you want to swim, but feel like it would be better with someone to talk to during breaks and like the motivation of a group, feel free to contact the Octopush Officer or post on the Facebook page to see when people are around and free.

These sessions will generally be without fins (to improve general fitness) but may involve fin work too.
