Fertiberia play their first friendly against Granollers on Wednesday

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto continue their pre-season, working hard to prepare for their return to Asobal. Vicent Nogués’ players will play their first friendly of pre-season on Wednesday at 19:30 against one of the great teams in the Asobal League, BM Granollers.

The match will be away, and head coach Vicent Nogués sees it as preparation to help the players understand what they will face this year in the top tier of Spanish handball: “It is a match to get the team moving; we are going to face a high-ranked team. My intention is for the players to start getting a feel for what the competition will be like, to play matches, and the sole objective is for everyone to participate and begin to understand what the league is about and what this year will be like”.

Two weeks have now passed since the red-and-white team began preparing for their return to Asobal, and Nogués gives a positive assessment: “They are working very well, doing a great deal of physical conditioning work and almost always having two sessions a day. They have already started to get a feel for the ball, and we are revisiting things we worked on last year to correct mistakes and clarify concepts”.

In addition to on-court training, running on the athletics tracks and the usual pre-season sessions, the players have completed special sessions. Last week they held a session at the municipal Internúcleos swimming pool to work on endurance. As usual, the players also ran the 52nd Volta a Peu al Port de Sagunto, organised every year by Club Deportivos Camp de Morvedre.
