As the Cowra Senior Soccer Club prepares for the upcoming season, preseason training is well underway, with a strong focus on building fitness and team cohesion.
Following an undefeated championship last season, the team is eager to maintain their momentum and defend their title.
Captain Courtney Booth emphasised the importance of fitness in the early stages of preseason, noting that it was an area the team needed to improve on from the previous year.
“It is going well,” she said.
“We are really focused on fitness so far, as it is one thing we lacked a little last season.”

“Just motivating the girls through the whole season,” Courtney said.
“And I want to make sure I am showing up for the team each week, leading by example, and helping those who need it.”
With a few new players joining the squad, Courtney praised the club’s welcoming culture and how well the team bonds both on and off the field.

“It is something I am super proud of, how welcoming the club is to anyone and everyone.”
“How well we gel together.”
“Everyone gets along so well, and I think that then shows on the field, how well we show up for each other, and no one wants to let anyone down,” Courtney said.
