Week 2 Winter Training Highlights

January 26th, 2009

The U10 Girls had a productive second day of training on Saturday. Two of many important aspects in their development were addressed: 1) Warm-Up Regimen/ ACL Injury Prevention 2) Communication. Coach Rob Leather implemented a 15 minute warm-up regimen that stressed the importance of core muscle and joint exercises that FIFA has highlighted as “crucial” especially for the female athlete, in preventing injury. Communication, and “DEMANDING THE BALL” was also emphasized throughout the 2-hour session, and will continue to be an important part of the coaching staff’s approach towards improving the girls’ performance. Let’s get the girls to use their “Voices”!!
