The winter schedule as we prepare for the second half of the season
The Rothosen rounded off 2023 and the first half of this season with an away win. HSV get the new year and preparations for the second half underway on 2nd January 2024.
Following the 2-0 away win at 1. FC Nürnberg, the HSV coaching staff supplied each player with individual training plans as they met up one last time at the Volksparkstadion before the winter break. Until the new year, the players will use these plans to arrive at the Volkspark fresh and at a good level when they began their preparations for the latter half of the season on 2nd January 2024. The players will undergo a series of performance tests on 2nd and 3rd January before heading to the training camp in southern Spain on 4th. Until 12th January, the team, coaches and staff will stay at the Hotel “SO” in Sotogrande, as they have done in the previous two years.
The Rothosen will hold their training sessions on the grounds of the local polo club. These are conditions that have been tried and tested in the last two years, which is why it has been decided that the main part of the winter break sessions will take place once more in Sotogrande. As well as the daily sessions, there are two friendlies planned. The opponents as well as the dates and times are yet to be confirmed. Before this, the HSV players will have a few days of winter and Christmas holiday to relax and recharge their batteries. This is so they can start again full of energy from January, and all be 100 percent for the first game after the break at Schalke on 20th January.
