November Education: Making the Most of Your Winter Break

For most of our Kings Hammer teams and players, November marks the end of the first part of our soccer calendar, and December brings the start of a significant break for players and parents alike. The absence of travel, practice, and game-day stress, combined with more time spent with family, can often bring a much-needed break and provides an ideal time for players to recover and recharge.

It also presents unique challenges and opportunities for young athletes to maintain or build fitness, enhance their ball skills, improve game intelligence or understanding, and prepare for the spring season.

Rest and Recuperate

Just like during the summer break, families need to recognize the value of some rest during this period. This is especially important for athletes who have incurred injuries over the course of the fall season. Rest does not have to mean laying around on the couch for long periods, but perhaps finding less stressful activities (mentally and physically).

Maintain fitness

Fitness and soccer gains made throughout the fall can begin to drop in as few as two weeks. It is important that athletes of all ages stay active prior to returning to formal practices and play in February. A balanced winter plan that includes cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and flexibility work can help players improve their endurance, speed, and athleticism. Youtube yoga and stretching are also great aids for athletes of any age.
