“Players off season training running with the added weight of a 4th consecutive premiership medal around the necks has been excellent for strength and conditioning.” 💪🏽🏆😉

Horse came galloping into the Jets squad in season 2022. With a background in volley and a clean pair of mitts the leadership liked what they saw from day dot. With an eagerness to learn on the pitch and some quality banter off the pitch we’re thrilled to have big horse at the Jets, can’t wait to see what he brings in 2023.
Congrats to Silky and Lex on a stella Geneva Jets career! You’ll both be sorely missed on and off the pitch. The double trouble dual generation of the Arnold’s gave us hard hitting intensity around the ball, the straightest kick in the league, the best 3rd effort player in the league, the best singing voice in the league and of course our beloved club song! What a legacy 👏
Best of luck back in Melbourne!
Much love, The Jets xx
Jets on tour! Over the weekend we had Rach, Benny, Tommy and Dudley head north to play in the Euro Cup. The Swiss Heidi’s and the Swiss Wolves both had a solid hits outs against the best Europe had to offer.
Game day!

We’ve recently discovered the secrets for Nicko’s incredible on field energy. Turns out when he’s not crumbing goals out of the midfield he’s a regular mountain man summiting peaks and climbing ice cliffs.

We’re back baby!
Unfortunately due to the spicy cough we will be training without pig skins for now.
These will be fitness based trainings with running and whatever Coach Dangeross wants to throw at us. This is non contact exercise, so you will not be required to wear a mask whilst exercising as long as we are maintaining a 1.5m distance from one another. If we are more than 15 then we will split into 2 groups.
We will alternate these trainings each week on Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s & Thursday’s (only one training per week). The first will be tomorrow! (Tuesday the 27th)
Training will start at 18:30, please be ready for this time.
Bring running shoes, drink bottle, mask, something to swim in (optional for an after training dip) and your happy face.
We will be trying to gauge numbers before before every training in order to plan accordingly. Current members please rsvp via team app, all you fresh faces out there keen to join please slip into the DMs.
We will meet at William Rappard Park, Rue de Lausanne, 1202 Genève
See you Tomorrow!
Up the Jets!
