WHAT IS A WORKOUT????
A workout is 25 percent PERSPIRATION and 75
percent DETERMINATION. Stated another way, it is
one part physical exertion and three parts self-discipline.
Doing it is easy once you get started.
A workout makes you better today than you were
yesterday. It strengthens the body, relaxes the mind, and
toughens the spirit. When you workout regularly, your
problems diminish and your confidence grows.
A workout is a personal triumph over laziness and
procrastination. It is the badge of a WINNER - the mark
of an organized, goal-oriented person who has taken
charge of his, or her, destiny.
A workout is a wise use of time and an investment in
excellence. It is a way of preparing for life's challenges
and proving to yourself that you have what it takes to do
what is necessary.
A workout is a key that helps unlock the door to
OPPORTUNITY and SUCCESS. Hidden within each
of us is an extraordinary force. Physical and mental
fitness are the triggers that can release it.
A workout is a form of REBIRTH. When you finish a
good workout, you don't simply feel better. You feel
better about yourself.

*ULTIMATE MEDICINE BALL*
4 ON 4 - 30 YD FIELD - 10' SQUARE GOAL
MEDICINE BALL
OBJECT: TO ADVANCE THE BALL UP THE FIELD WITH A SERIES OF PASSES & SCORE A POINT BY PASSING THE BALL TO A TEAMMATE INSIDE THE GOAL.
RULES: TWO HAND PASSES. MAY NOT RUN WITH THE BALL. MUST MAINTAIN A PIVOT FOOT. SCORERS  OFF. NEW TEAM ON.
*Players not into off-season conditioning?*
Try this as a conditioning program. Set up 3 areas next to each other and play short-sided 3 on 3 games of  soccer, volleyball, tag, dodgeball, or the above UMB. You'll be amazed at the workout the players are getting, the different muscle groups they are training, the various skills and body-movements they're improving and how much you are developing/maintaining a competitive fire...all while having fun!
