2 DAY A GRADE
CLINIC
At our two-day A-grade soccer clinic for 12-15-year-olds, players will not only focus on technical and tactical aspects but also on injury prevention strategies and improving speed and conditioning. Injury prevention will be emphasized through proper warm-up routines, stretching exercises, and guidance on maintaining good form during movements. We will provide players with knowledge on injury prevention techniques, such as proper landing mechanics, body control, and strengthening exercises to minimize the risk of common soccer-related injuries. Additionally, speed and conditioning sessions will be incorporated to enhance players' speed, agility, endurance, and overall physical fitness. Through targeted drills, interval training, and conditioning exercises, players will improve their speed, explosiveness, and stamina, enabling them to perform at their best throughout matches and reduce the risk of fatigue-related injuries. Our comprehensive approach ensures that players receive a well-rounded development experience that addresses both technical skills and physical well-being
