2009 Summer Letter and Training Program
Welcome to the 2009 Wentworth Soccer Season! We're looking forward to an excellent season and to you joining us. Please review the following information.
The 2009 season promises to be a very good one for us. With an NCAA bid at stake in conference play, as well as tough regional opponents, which also affords us a possible ECAC at-large bid, the schedule is very demanding as usual, and will require us to be at our best at the very beginning and throughout the season.
As you know, soccer demands a great deal of fitness. The rigors of the game demand that you be in top shape. We have prepared the following summer training program for you. Consistent training during the summer is absolutely necessary. Our pre-season camp is meant to compliment the training you have done, and is not to be used as a time to get into shape. Fitness is critical for a successful program and we want to make sure that you do everything possible to insure a great season! Our fitness test consists of a 2 mile run which you must run under 12 minutes before you can be considered for the regular line-up. We are also adding some more fitness tests like the Endurance-Birtwell Test. Make training a part of your daily summer routine!
There is no substitute for playing so play as much as you can, even if its 2 vs 2. In addition to playing time, ball work including juggling, working on individual moves, shooting and heading are invaluable. In order to compete at the highest level, we have to improve our first touch on the ball. So please make an emphasis in your training to perfect or continue developing this critical art. Keep a log of your training. Remember this is a voluntary training program, but if your going to do it, get the most out of it.
I will also be adding new sprinting and first touch exercises from month to month. So keep checking out this web site for up to date info. Have a great summer.
