Jamaican Ambassador Football
Club, November 24/05.
They opened the session with brief
descriptions of the referee’s role and the player’s role during a soccer
match. Then emphasizing the importance of the warm-up/warm-down process.
Highlighting proper stretching techniques to prepare different muscles for
use when playing soccer to prevent injury and also mentioning muscle
recovery after work outs, (allowing the muscle time to remove the build up
of lactic acid) which then allows repeated performance without muscle
soreness. The overwhelming positive response from the U9 and U11 children
and the coaches is truly a sign that the experience was an enjoyable one.
