Coaching Sessions

Dynamic passing warm-up

Fitness & Conditioning

This session begins with muscle activation and mobility, moving into a dynamic warm-up that takes in flexibility, movement and coordination. Activation exercises significantly reduce the risk of injury, develop muscle memory, and help optimise explosive movements. And this type of activity relates directly to all movement patterns in a game.
