FITNESS GUIDELINES
Always warm-up properly before any workout Always keep a written log of your workouts. The best way to stay on track with a workout program is to work out with a team mate. Push yourself – especially when you don’t feel energetic Avoid back to back days of the same work outs Sore is okay. Hurt is not. Seek proper medical attention if you have an injury. A gradual increase of fitness levels is better for you than peaks and valleys seen in crash programs. Playing soccer is the best way to get better at soccer. Change up your workout to keep it fresh.
Once you feel comfortable to start, ask yourself the following question: How many times per week do I participate in organized training or play competitive games? Once answered, look at the enclosed sheets and follow the program that is best suited for you. Please note that an intense training period of 6-8 weeks should be followed by a break of at least one week for the body and mind to rejuvenate. At a minimum, you should look for other avenues for your training to take a temporary break (i.e. swimming, cycling, hiking, etc.)

NEVER QUIT. IF YOU STUMBLE, GET BACK UP. WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY, NO LONGER MATTERS. TODAY’S ANOTHER DAY, SO GET BACK ON TRACK AND MOVE CLOSER TO YOUR DREAMS AND GOALS. YOU CAN DO IT.
1000 TOUCH WORKOUT The footwork activity here is designed to give you about 1000 touches in seven minutes. Everyone can find seven minutes a day to work on their soccer skills. This warm-up should be done daily as a regular part of exercise and training preparation. Ideally, on practice days and match days, I would love to see everybody arrive 15 minutes early and get this warm-up in before we even begin the regular training session or match preparation. SEVEN MINUTE DRILL 50 BALL TAPS BASIC ROLLS (10 each foot) 1) Inside Roll 2) Outside roll BELL TOUCHES (50 touches) FOUNDATION SKILLS (10 each) 1) Inside-Outside 2) Triangles 3) Vee PULL-BACK SKILLS Do sequence with one foot then switch (4 times each foot ) 1) Pull, Instep Push 2) Pull a Vee 3) Pull & Take with Outside of foot 4) Pull & Roll Behind TURNS: from moderate speed turn 180 degrees and explode/accelerate for 3 touches. Then bring it back down to moderate pace for the next turn (4 times each foot) 1) Pull Turn 2) Drag-Back 3) Inside Chop 4) Outside-Cut 5) Cruyff 6) Stepover Turn 7) Step-On Shield & Turn TAKE-ON MOVES, explode/accelerate after the move for 3 touches. Then bring it back down to moderate pace for the next move (4 times each foot) 1) Hip Swivel 2) Roll-Touch 3) Roll-Push 4) Inside-Outside (Mathews) 5) Stepover 6) Rivolino 7) Body Swerve (Scissor Behind the ball) 8) Scissor 9) Double Scissor 10) Ba-Dink (Cap) Complete as indicated in the summer program. Recommended 6 days a week (6000 touches/week).
FULL 1000 TOUCH WORKOUT To continue with the FULL 1000 TOUCH WORKOUT, add the following cycles: BALL & A WALL Spend another ten minutes passing against a wall. Use both feet. Use onetouch, two-touch, and three-touch pass backs. Pass back with both the instep and inside of feet. Include fake kicks. Keep feet moving and your weight on the balls of your feet. Receive balls with your body square behind the ball and work on accuracy with your passes. JUGGLING/TOUCH LADDER Spend ten minutes juggling the ball trying to get 100 consecutive juggles or, if you are not yet proficient enough a juggler, work the Touch Ladder. PATTERN DRIBBLE Pattern Dribble for 10-15 minutes. (IR=inside right; OR=outside right; IL=inside left; OL=outside left) Begin with easy 1 foot patterns: IR-OR-IR-OR-IR-OR-IR-OR-IR-OR and IL-OL-IL-OL-IL-OL-IL-OL-IL-OL Progress to more complex patterns. For example: IR-OL-IL-OR - IR-OL-IL-OR - IR-OL-IL-OR - IR-OL-IL-OR IR-OL-IL-IR-IL-OR - IR-OL-IL-IR-IL-OR - IR-OL-IL-IR-IL-OR IR-OL-IL-stepover-OL-IL-OR-IR-stepover-OR - IR-OL-ILstepover-OL-ILOR-IR-stepover-OR RUNNING, SPRINTING & SLOWING WITH THE BALL Accelerate & Decelerate under full control of the ball. This is different from dribbling. Dribbling is about change of direction. This is about pace and change of pace. The ability to change you pace - explode or come to a dead stop with the ball under full control - is as important as any take -on move you can ever learn. The direction is roughly straight ahead. Start from a moderate pace and then explode for 10-20 yards then bring the ball back down to moderate pace all the while not breaking stride. 10-15 minutes.
