“The boys came in good shape and what we have been doing is to put them back in the shape that they are supposed to be in. We have been doing drills with high volume and low intensity with a lot of strength work, and the boys are responding well.
“The most important thing after the team comes back from off-season is doing their medicals and checking their weights, all that went well,” Coach Perry explained.
Meanwhile, the club has also confirmed the amicable separation with seven players ahead of the new season.
The seven are, defender Amos Simwanza who had been on the books of NAPSA Stars since 2018. Simwanza joined the club under Coach Mohamed Fathi and helped the team survive relegation in that season.
