WINTER SKILL TRAINING ACTIVITIES

Each week through the winter months, Classics Eagles will post a home training activity for players to try on their own to improve their skills and have fun with the ball. We want players to do this at home through the winter months, so the activities:

can be done in a small amount of space.
can be done with little to no extra training equipment (just need a ball).
can be adjusted to player's challenge level.
are movements that are most commonly used in the game.

SHARE! Post your training videos to any of the Classics Eagles social media platforms and highlight your skills and commitment to improve. Questions about activity? Contact Ross Brown: 806-494-8087.
