Summer planning
2023 Welcome letter
Welcome to MVRHS Girls Soccer. Please take moment to read our letter and let us know how we can help. Look forward to seeing you on the pitch.
2023 Summer Soccer Clinics/ID Camps
Here is a list of summer camps, clinics, and college ID camps. We encourage all our players to get some additional training over the summer to hone your skills and stay sharp for the fall season. It is important to rest and walk away from soccer for a bit, with the idea you still need to maintain some level of training. Please reach out to the coaching staff if you have questions, concerns or in need of financial assistance.
Fitness Plan
This program is designed to enhance your cardio fitness as well as your overall fitness. Training over the summer, heading into the pre-season already fit will not only reduce the risk of injury, but will improve your ability to build new skills as a soccer player. This is a guideline. Do what you can and adjust as needed. Have fun with your training, but stay disciplined. Please consult your physician to ensure you are healthy and cleared for exercise.
Technical skill training
This list is just an intro to what you can do to improve your first touch, dribbing and passing. This list is designed with the intention of doing these exercises solo. Feel free to grab a teammate . . . or several, and build upon these activities. Some of these exercises should be done daily, while others could be done daily, but should at least be done 3-4 times per week.
