Announcement
ASC Families:
Playing in cold weather has a unique set of circumstances. To properly prepare for the cold the player should wear the appropriate training gear, i.e underarmor, beenies, gloves, etc. Since you typically move around, you need soccer clothes that adapt to the athleticism of the practice so please keep that in mind. If the weather is very cold, hypothermia is a real issue at practice. While you don't want to bundle up to a point where you can't comfortably move, layers that insulate you from the wind and protect you until you've warmed up are critical. In addition, adequate stretching is key to avoiding tears and ruptures of your lower leg muscles, especially the Achilles' tendon when playing in the cold.

Coaches Notes:
Good trainers are the foundation for good players!
A coach has a responsibility to put the health and safety and the development of their players in front of any personal aims or goals they may wish to attain. Unfortunately this is not always the case and many coaches focus on winning, wanting the best players, are jealous of other teams and coaches, even within their own club and the development of their own ego. But if a coach has an open mind and is willing to put the players first they can actually achieve a greater enjoyment,
both for themselves and their players.
Sincerely,
ASC Coaches
