Make sure you use a ball that you don't mind damaging. 1. Alternating one touch: stand about 6-8 yards from the wall and push pass (open foot) the ball to wall alternating right and left feet, medium pace on the pass, (3 minutes). 2. Alternating two touch: stand about 10-12 yards from the wall and push pass ball (medium pace) to wall with right foot then upon return collect with other foot on first touch then pass back to wall with same foot; continue alternating (left- right ) keeping the ball close on the first touch, ( 3 minutes ). 3. Collecting driven balls: stand about 15-18 yards from wall and send a driven ball low to wall at fast pace and collect in one-touch upon return, try to focus on dropping the ball at your feet on the collection, alternate in some weak foot driven balls to work on your weaker foot, (3 minutes). 4. Target practice: stand about 20-22 yards from wall and pick out a spot on the wall to hit (about 6-8 feet up), send driven ball and try to hit target, count how many you hit in a row, alternate three with strong foot to one with weaker foot, ( 3 minutes). 5. Air ball collection: stand about 7 yards from wall and toss ball up about 20 feet off the wall and collect in one-touch with various surfaces (top of foot, thigh, chest), try to have the ball drop down on first touch, (3 minutes). 6. Throw-in power builder: stand about 15-18 yards from wall ( at the large crack on surface ) and with feet parallel (next to one another- few inches apart), throw ball against wall and collect return with your body, try to increase your velocity on the throw so it gets back to you from the wall on one bounce, make sure your throws are reaching the wall at about 8 feet high or lower, ( 3 minutes). 7. Multi-touch dribbling: on the blacktop at the wall you are working at, dribble with ball touching it every other step with same foot, begin with right then go to left, go at a moderate pace until you are comfortable with the speed of the ball on the surface, use both the inside and outside of both feet as you progress to more control. “Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success…”-Class of 2010 Garnet Valley Women’s Soccer 552 Smithbridge Road Glen Mills, PA 19342 484-410-3611 Paul Costa Varsity: Head Coach Social Studies Department [email protected] www.garnetvalleyschools.com/gvhs/gvws Weight Training: General Guidelines 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Slow controlled movement while stressing proper form is paramount When starting, select no weight while perfecting form You should exhaust your muscles on the final 2 reps of a set Body confusion allows your body to reach its peak.

Groups will distributed each day Use the provided sheets to record your progress, Drive each other to perform your best each time in the gym.

Buddy Throw Downs (3 sets of 20) : Partner up. One person is laying flat on the floor while the other is standing at their partner’s head. The person on the floor holds the ankles of the person standing. The person on the floor will raise their legs up to their partner and their partner will throw them to the floor varying the direction they throw each time. The person on the floor will try to prevent their feet from hitting the floor. Each time the legs are throw counts as 1 repetition. B.) Crunches (3 sets of 30-40) C.) Bridges (3 sets 1 minute each side): Lay on the floor on your side. Support your upper body with the forearm of the side closest to the floor. Hold position for 1 minute. Switch sides.

Abs- 1-2-3’s- Lay flat on your back with your chin buried in your chest to avoid strain on your lower back. When you say 1, they do little flutter kicks 6 inches from the floor. On the 2 count they do large flutter kicks, still ending your feet 6 inches from the ground. When you say three, the do cross over scissor kicks, again 6 inches from the ground. Hold each count for about 20 seconds and as the abs get stronger you can make the counts longer. 2.) Get a medicine ball or weight plate, whatever you think they can handle. Do walking torso twists for about 15 to 20 yards. When your left foot is in front the weight should be swinging to the right and when your right foot swings the weight goes to the left. 3.) Hanging from a bar sets up knee ups 4.)Supermans- laying on your stomach either alternate left hand and right leg raising in the air or to both arms and legs raising at once. Great for the lower back. 5.)Repeated touches (or attempted touches) on a backboard or cross bar of a goal post. Do sets of 3 of 10-12 reps. Don’t let their feet stay on the ground, the legs absorb the impact and they are jumping right up again. Don’t let them land stiff legged. “Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success…”-Class of 2010 Garnet Valley Women’s Soccer 552 Smithbridge Road Glen Mills, PA 19342 484-410-3611 Paul Costa Varsity: Head Coach Social Studies Department [email protected] www.garnetvalleyschools.com/gvhs/gvws WEIGHT TRAINING Day 1: Legs/Speed and Agility 1/Fundamentals 1 Step-Up Crossovers 4 x 8 Dumbbell squat – 1 x 12, 1 x 10, 1 x 8, 1 x 6 Dumbbell side lunges - 3x12 Leg extension - 3x8 (one-leg at a time) SQUAT SIDE LUNGE LUNGE-LEG UP STEP UP CROSS OVER Day 2 - Off Day 3: Upper Body A/Speed and Agility2 /Fundamentals 2 Standard Pushups -4 x 8 Incline Push-Up - 3x10 Decline Push Up - 3x10 Floor Alternating Press- 3x15 PUSHUPS INCLINE PUSHUP FLOOR ALTERNATING PRESS DECLINE PUSHUP “Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success…”-Class of 2010 Garnet Valley Women’s Soccer 552 Smithbridge Road Glen Mills, PA 19342 484-410-3611 Paul Costa Varsity: Head Coach Social Studies Department [email protected] www.garnetvalleyschools.com/gvhs/gvws Day 4 – Off Day 5: Upper Body B/Speed and Agility 3/Small Games Wide Grip Pull Ups- 4 x8 Kettlebell alternating Row - 3x10 CORE (ATTACHED) PULL AND PUSH PRESS KETTLEBELL ALT ROW Day 6 - Off Day 7 – Off Day 8: Legs B Speed and Agility 1/Fundamentals 1 Pull and Push Press 3 x 15 Calf raises - 3x15 Dumbbell Front Lunges 3 x 8 Squat Jumps- 4 x 8 KETTLE BELL LUNGE DUMBELL LUNGES CALF RAISE SQUAT JUMPS “Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success…”-Class of 2010 Garnet Valley Women’s Soccer 552 Smithbridge Road Glen Mills, PA 19342 484-410-3611 Paul Costa Varsity: Head Coach Social Studies Department [email protected] www.garnetvalleyschools.com/gvhs/gvws Day 9 Off Day 10: Upper Body C/Upper Body A/Speed and Agility2 /Fundamentals 2 Stabilizing Incline Pushups- 4 x 8 Seated dumbbell triceps extension - 3x10 Cable Pushdowns- 3 x 12 Dips- 3 x 10 STABILIZING SEATED TRICEP INCLINE PUSHUP EXTENSION INSIDE PUSHUP DIPS Day 11 Off Day 12: Upper Body D/Speed and Agility 3/Small Games Narrow Grip Pull ups- 3 x 8 Kettlebell Swing 3 x 15 CORE (ATTACHED) NARROW GRIP PULL-UPS KETTLEBELL SWING “Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success…”-Class of 2010 Garnet Valley Women’s Soccer 552 Smithbridge Road Glen Mills, PA 19342 484-410-3611 Paul Costa Varsity: Head Coach Social Studies Department [email protected] www.garnetvalleyschools.com/gvhs/gvws Speed and Agility 1= Ladders, Agility Cone Drill Speed and Agility 2= Agility Cones, Form Running Speed and Agility 3= Jumping Station, Agility Cones Fundamentals 1,2= Varied Drills that specialize in maximizing our toughs and working on the small parts that go into large games: -1st touch -trapping -passing -moves on the ball -defending/containing -possession 1 v 1 -throw ins -winning the ball in the air Fundamentals 1 -Circle Passing -Magic Square -Expanding 1 v1/Backpacks Fundamentals 2 -Shuttles w/ Ball -60 second Box -4 corners passing Small Games= varied small-sided games, usually 5 v 5 or less that take fundamentals and build them into a small game: -Movement of the ball -Developing Game Pace -Developing Chemistry -Possession Small Games 1 -Gates -6 Goal Small Games 2 -The Henwood -Take a Knee “FAMILY IS NOT ABOUT BLOOD, IT IS ABOUT WHO IS WILLING TO HOLD YOUR HAND WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST.” -GVWS Seniors, Class of 2014 “Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success…”-Class of 2010 Garnet Valley Women’s Soccer 552 Smithbridge Road Glen Mills, PA 19342 484-410-3611 Paul Costa Varsity: Head Coach Social Studies Department [email protected] www.garnetvalleyschools.com/gvhs/gvws The Players on the Bench It takes more than eleven players to make a winning team. The starting eleven may win the game, but it takes the whole team to win a championship-to go all the way. The team is like an iceberg. You see the starting eleven, but underneath it all is that big wide strong base-the rest of the team. This is the part of the team that builds character of a lasting winner. The more dedicated the player on the bench, the harder they work, the more they push and strengthen the starting players-the higher it pushes this iceberg out of the water-the bigger it gets-the better the team. If they quit, or don’t focus, or become complacent, they erode that strong base and the character of the team. They are part of the total effort necessary to come back from a one-goal deficit late in a playoff game. And yet this player on the bench must be there-waiting, watching, and hoping-sometimes agonizingly-for that chance to use their special skills to better the team effort-to make the base of the iceberg stronger-to build the character of the team. Yes, agonizingly, because they know that there is a chance they won’t play because they maybe the smallest person waiting for a chance to be the biggest person, who is called, in an instant for a game breaking play. They may even be the player that is hurt, but working twice as hard to be physically fit in time for playoffs. They may be the player on the bench who demonstrates to the fans that this team really has character from the bench to the field. But even more important, they maybe the player the rest of the players look to late in a game when they are hurting, or out of breath and burning inside for that spirit, that push, and that enthusiasm and that love necessary to make the big play and win the game for the whole team. When the game is over, when the season ends, and all the fans and sports writers are talking about the top of the iceberg, the stars and heroes, the players will know that the real winner is the team, the whole iceberg, especially the base-the players on the bench who build the character to make the team a lasting winner “Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success…”-Class of 2010
