Some are born talented; others work hard to get to the level where they are at… One thing we all know is that no matter who they are, they can always be better!
There are barriers in which the body does not like to push. There are barriers in which the mind can play games. These barriers are there to be pushed in a safe, yet competitive way.

ASF Physical Training:
The program is designed around the physical needs of a soccer player. High fitness levels maximize athlete performance. Being “fit” is not only a product of conditioning, strength, agility, speed; but also proper nutrition and eating habits.
The program includes all physical aspects of the game and will help the player gain an edge over other competitors. This advantage could be the difference in a player winning a loose ball, reacting first to a rebound, or using body strength to protect the ball. This training can also help prevent injury to players with improved conditioning.
What will this program include?
The program is divided into three different aspects of soccer related athleticism. The three topics are “Soccer Acceleration”, “Strength and Conditioning” and “Agility, Balance and Co-ordination”.
Soccer Acceleration:
After assessing the level of athleticism, this section will focus on improving speed and reaction time. Players will be taught the fine techniques of sprinting and also reactions of a player using the same exercises’ that Olympic athletes have perfected.
Strength & Conditioning:
Age specific strengthening exercises are implemented to ensure the young player’s body develops appropriately.
Conditioning activities ensure a player remain at peak fitness in the off season.
Soccer Agility, Balance and Co-ordination:
This is designed to improve a player’s ability to move and change direction of body position. This is imperative for a good soccer player and improves a players’ all round game, along with balance and co-ordination that will enhance a player’s skill level.
Please ask about our injury prevention program which is a must for competitive soccer players who face a busy schedule of athletic activities.
