Storm players and coaches have settled into the Club's temporary training base at Xavier College after beginning training at the private school on Monday.
The entire Melbourne Storm football department have relocated to the school for a three week period, using the facility's fields, pool and gymnasium as well as meeting rooms.
Due to the Asian Cup, AAMI Park's three tenants, Storm, Melbourne Victory and the Melbourne Demons have all moved out during the three week tournament and will return in late January.
Xavier College is a private boys school located in Melbourne. The school's grounds and facilities are available for Storm to use due to school holidays.
