Oxford United Academy’s Scholars head to Millfield today for a four-day training camp.
The Young U’s will mirror the Men’s First Team by going away as a group to ramp up their pre-season efforts ahead of the new season.
After running up Shotover Hill this morning, a club tradition that dates back to the 1960s, the scholars set off to the South West and will return on Thursday evening.
Coach Chris Hackett told us
“It’s a great chance for the new scholars to get to grips with the squad and the environment and start to build those relationships that are vital on and off the pitch.
“The boys have come back in great spirits and are ready to work hard and push on ahead of the new season. This is just the start of an intense pre-season to get the boys back up to speed emotionally, mentally and physically.
