The club uses a number of facilities to conduct training, with its major base at St Bernard's College in Essendon. Here it has access to two well maintained ovals, a synthetic soccer pitch, throwing cage and jumps pit. The club also utilises the long uninterrupted paths of the adjacent Maribyrnong River, as well as other school facilities.
The club caters for all ages, gender and levels of ability. There are many knowledgeable and experienced Coaches on hand at all training sessions to assist all members in their chosen events. These coaches are available four days a week at two different training venues. Training is generally on a group basis with additional personal attention when possible.
