2018 Summer Workouts

We need all players to be working out during the summer.  Keeping in shape during the summer is a lot easier for you then getting into shape in the fall.  These drills, skills and workouts will help you to improve and be ready for the rigors of a college soccer season.  If you are still in high school and are currently playing on a high school or club team please continue to do so and start the Mustang summer workouts as soon as the season ends.

You do have some choices on what you want to do in regards to weight training routine but we still want you to be lifting at least twice a week.  When lifting focus on core strength and leg strength, while still improving the strength in your upper body.

You need to be active at least 5 days a week.  It does not matter what days you do the exercise, when done either daily or weekly remember to tell us what you did on the the Team App Chat
