With their minor premiership still in the minds of the Hawthorn Spartans, the team has entered pre-season training this week.

Starting their 2015 campaign last Wednesday at the Alphington Grammar ovals, the Spartans are working on getting a strong team back together.

Some players have retired or moved on, and while the side is slightly depleted, the team has some new players to throw in the mix.

The club still has a lot of work to do to get ready for a new league.

Promoted since their minor premiership this year, the club will now venture to the top division now of the VAFA Club 18 Section.

For interested players hoping to join the Greek sponsored amateur club, contact George Demetriou at george@gdfpartners.com.au or 0409 022 909.

Key dates for pre-season training: December 3, 10 and 17 at Alphington Grammar, 18 Old Heidelberg Road, Alphington, Victoria.
