Recommended Summer/Fall 2019 Workouts

CPFC starts playing games the second weekend of school, so it is highly recommended to start a fitness routine before tryouts. The routine below is encouraged, or improvise your own fitness schedule. It will be challenging, but if you put in hard work now, it will pay off later. Enjoy the rest of your summer and we look forward to seeing you on the pitch for tryouts.

Day 1 (Monday): Sprinting!
Warm up!! At least 5 minutes of jogging and stretching.

Sequence:
-Sprint 10yds and back to start, turn, run 20yds and back, 30yds and back, 40yds and back, 50yds and back =300 yds

Day 2 (Tuesday): Long run and abs
-Run 3-5 miles. After the run, do 5×100 yard strides (75-80% effort) and 50 lunges each leg. Stretch. This would be a good day to add yoga.

B) Shuttle Run
This Shuttle run may be the most effective fitness workout for any player because of its soccer specificity. Pay attention, this one is going to have you hurting after and pay out the most dividends for you.
You’ll need a stopwatch of some sort on you for this to make sure you do it right.
-Set up 2 cones 20yds apart
-Start at one cone, run 20yds and back to the cone you started from. (there and back 3 times, or 6 sprints until you end up where you started from, this is considered 1 rep)
-Each rep (6 sprints) should be completed in under 35 seconds. (If you finish early you have extra time to rest)
-You then have 30 seconds rest and you go again.
-5 reps of this is ONE SET (30 sprints with rests)
-Rest in between sets is 2:30 min or as required and you will be doing 3 sets of this.

 Day 6/7 (Sat/Sun): Long run and abs
-Do this one on Saturday or Sunday as a good wind down to break. Run 3-5 miles. After the run, do 5×100 yard strides (75-80% effort) and 50 lunges each leg. Stretch. This would be a good day to add yoga.
