Richmond CEO Brendon Gale said the AFL Community Camps are an opportunity for the club to spend time with some of its regional fans.

"We love opportunities to take Richmond on the road and spend time in different communities," Gale said.

"We have a lot of fans in the Wangaratta region, as well as it being part of our Next Generation Academy zone, so we're looking forward to being able to give back to some of the people and communities that give us so much support."

Richmond's open training session will be on Saturday afternoon (February 29) at Norm Minns Oval and the clinic with local schools will be on Monday, March 2.

Tickets for the pre-season clash go on sale at 9am on Thursday for Richmond members and 9am on Friday for the general public.
