With five months of combined outdoor and now indoor training, the club have seen all their 18 teams remain in a strong position personnel wise, with an almost 100 percent attendance at their sessions.

Fury have also brought additional coaching staff on board with 20 coaches now involved in club sessions.

The club, with indoor sessions now back in place, will look to trial a long list of players who have applied to join the club - these trials having been put on hold during the club's outdoor only activity.

Planning in terms of getting back into schools - not just Fury's Academy program at Falkirk HS, have begun.

These include the club's partnership with Falkirk Community Trust and the start up last week of their sports development basketball sessions.

Fury are also in talks regarding their Senior Men's team participation in the BBL Trophy - the British league pro event which the Men qualified for as Season 19-20 Scottish Champions.

With the FA Cup integrating 'amateur' and pro teams, there is a clear case that the BBL Trophy which integrates 'amateur' and pro clubs could see Fury Men take part in the competition.

Meanwhile, in the BBL, former Fury stars Jonny Bunyan and Fraser Malcolm are scheduled to play their first competitive game of the season for the Glasgow Rocks this Sunday against Cheshire Phoenix behind closed doors at the Emirates Arena with the match being televised.
