The format of the academy will be as follows:
9:00-9:30 full group functional warm up and stretching
9:30-11:00 approximately 3, 25 minute stations of training, this allows time for short bathroom breaks, drinks, and rotation of groups.
Please note: each skill listed above will not be taught every week. Progression of activities will depend on the makeup of each group. Groups will be determined by age, ability, or both, whichever allows for the best learning to take place. Depending on the makeup of the groups, they could change weekly or remain the same.
Instruction will be provided by the Coaching staff of the Women’s and Men’s soccer teams from St. Lawrence University, current and former players from both teams, and the FC Freeze Coaching Staff.
