Speed and Agility Training
A well-trained soccer player has the ability to make a fast run, powerfully change direction and recover quickly, keeping muscles well supplied with fuel and delaying the buildup of lactic acid. Our Speed and Agility Training system first prepares the player by building general mobility, stability and strength. It is essential to begin with general stability and strength movements to increase ligament, tendon and muscle strength. From this solid base, we can progress to speed and agility techniques: acceleration, deceleration and change of direction.
