Merlin Soccer Club believes in teaching
Soccer Speed, Coordination, Balance, Quickness, Strength, Power and Agility
Soccer depends on rapid changes of speed
which require the ability to quickly accelerate and decelerate the body.
Athletes often fail to take full advantage of their muscular potential
because of weakness, losses of balance or breakdowns in movement rhythm.
Often, even the best soccer athletes are deficient in the basic balance and
postural requirements for safe performance. They may never even know of
their injury potential until after their injury occurs.
The Soccer Speed and Agility Program gives
soccer athletes a sound muscular base upon which their sport careers can be
launched.
