THE ACADEMY WEEK AHEAD
We will continue with 30 minutes on small sided games and the remaining 30 minutes on the full court. last week the effort and application across all of the sessions was really good, albeit smaller numbers at some venues.
Please let us know if your child is unable to make a session with as much notice as possible. In some circumstances we are betterto combine sessions if we know numbers are going to be extremely low.
1% MORE EVERY DAY - FARTLEK RUNS
We have finished some sessions with these runs. they are great for fitness and better for football and futsal than long distance runs.
We are on a mission to get as many of our players as fit as possible for next season and the fartlek runs are a great way of improving fitness for futsal and football. 1% of your day is just 14 minutes and we are looking for players to do the following EVERY DAY over the summer. If they do, they will be fitter and stronger than before and fully prepared for the new seasons.
3 x 4 minute runs with a 1 minute recover in between. Options:
Players can choose to use any of the above options.
SUMMER HOLIDAY BREAK

We have invested a lot of money into this project to further promote our belief in the benefits of small sided games. The pitches are frequently used by the big football academies across the world to provide a street type football environment. You can do exactly the same with Futsal Escocia.
