Starting at 6pm, Raiders Cup coach John Hawke will ease players back into training with an hour long hit-out.
"Yeah we'll have three groups rotating every 20 minutes between fitness, ball work and skills games," he told the Tribune.
"It won't be too intense before Christmas, it's just about getting back into it and building momentum."
Hawke is hoping for a large turnout of local players to compliment the five current first-graders he has already signed.
