I received a comment this morning that players were arriving at the Olympic Training Centre to commence the residency program. The comment demanded names of those on the program, and more information - when we have all contracts signed we will announce the first wave of players participating in the program. The Men will start arriving this week to prepare for Wellington and Las Vegas, this will be both the players participating in the residency program and the 'taxi' squad players. The women will be assembling around the 22nd January, before then they will be attending the Women's National Camp at Tigertown, Tampa, next week.
We will be making a full announcement when everything is set and ready to go..hope that helps!
