The Wolves, like all football clubs, are unable to train until June at the earliest due to the spread of COVID-19.
With their competition on hold, coach Luke Wilkshire has had to design new and unique training programs.
Wilkshire is attempting to maintain both his players' physical and mental health throughout this period.
As a result, the Wolves conduct regular Zoom meetings to ensure they remain in regular contact.
"At this point in time what's most important is health and everyone getting through this," Wilkshire said.
"It's tough keeping the boys in physical condition, but mentally it is more challenging for people when you're out of your routines and without the environment to thrive off.
"We're using Zoom to have video sessions, we had nearly 50 people in the club engage in a session on Sunday morning."
