1 Hello All CHSFH Players, Concord Field Hockey Summer Workout Welcome to Concord! We have an amazing school with hard working, fun student athletes that should make your experience here special. We look forward to meeting all the incoming freshman who will be joining our Raider Hockey family this fall. Preparation for success is critical and therefore we need to cover a few items in preparation for the upcoming fall field hockey season. 1) Preseason starts Thursday, August 15 th. Double session times are as follows: Arrive 8:15am First Session 8:30 11:30 Lunch (everyone stays on campus) Second Session 1:00 3:00 Double sessions will continue for the rest of the week 8/15 8/20; the Raider Rumble is Saturday August 17 th, and Sunday the 18 th is a day off. Single sessions from 3:00 5:00 will follow until the start of the school year when practice will move to 2:45 4:45 each day. The remaining schedule will be available in August and will be given out at the Parent Meeting before the season starts. Please note our game schedule on raiderssports.com for planning purposes. *The schedule is subject to change. 2) Please put Thursday, August 15 th on your calendar, and make sure to have your physicals (on DIAA forms) turned into the Concord School Nurse prior to this date. The wellness center is currently scheduling appointments for FREE/low cost (possibly $20) physicals in August please sign up now as space is limited! Our traditional parent meeting will occur following the All-Sports meeting on Tuesday August 13 th at 7:00 pm. This is a required sports meeting for athletes and parents, and will discuss sportsmanship, schedules and Concord athletic initiatives. 3) Summer workout packets: It is our expectation that players arrive to pre-season in shape. This means you should be able to run about 40 minutes without stopping (at least 3-4 miles) and be able to do multiple wind sprints. Players are encouraged to gradually build up to this amount of running, starting with a mile or two in late June/early July. Working with another hockey player or friend will help make this easier. Players should also work on increasing their level of speed (sprinting) through interval training. I have provided you with a guideline that will help prepare you this summer. 4) For those of you available, we will be holding Senior Summer Workouts starting in June at Concord High school. These workouts will continue on various days and times throughout each week, as dictated by the seniors and captains based on team feedback/schedules. Please make sure we have your too keep you in the loop. All are welcome to attend. Tuesday June 18 th 9:00-11:00 we have set up to have set up a clinic with Andy Sedar from Torque Athletics. He will instruct proper plyometric, agility, and speed movements/form. The cost is $5 per player. This clinic will benefit all players as we will incorporate these lessons throughout the entire summer workout and upcoming season. I hope you can join Andy and me at Concord Track on the 18 th for this clinic. It is required to have your physical prior to starting these workouts. Many players have requested additional field hockey training, so I have arranged for 2 clinics to be held at CHS; July 14 th Shooting/Scoring and goalies July 28 th from 9:00 to 1:00 Defense Skills and goalies. These are headed by college coaches and players with Advance Forward Field Hockey (advanceforwardfh.com). The cost $50 per clinic covers insurance, field rental, and instruction. It is an awesome way to hone playing skills this summer and will give our team a leg up come season if many participate. Please feel free to invite players from other teams to the Advance Forward Clinics. 5) Lastly, we will be taking time on Tuesday August 13 th (1:00-3:30pm) to do a team bonding activity, tubing down the Brandywine with Wilderness Canoes strictly for fun and team camaraderie. We are asking for players to sign up by Thursday June 13 th so that we can reserve space with Wilderness Canoes. We realize that incoming freshmen will receive this information late, and so you may me at any time to sign up. Coach Sandra Wermus Please contact me if you have any questions: sandra.wermus@bsd.k12.de.us
2 CHSFH Summer Workout Please use the following plyometric, agility, and speed training drills to complete your summer workout. The calendar will offer specific ideas for establishing a training routine that if followed, will properly prepare you for a successful season. Bottom line, we are only as good as our weakest player and the team needs all players to arrive to preseason in shape. It is the conditioning you do during the summer that will set up our season; in season we can focus on stick skills and maintenance conditioning. Dynamic Stretching Warm-Ups Studies show that the new way of stretching (dynamic stretching) increases power, flexibility and range of motion, and may reduce injuries. In one study of female collegiate soccer players, non-contact ACL injuries were reduced by nearly half among players who followed a warm-up program that included both dynamic stretching exercises and static stretching. Jog to midline of field and back (50 yards) Jog backward 25 yards, turn jog forward 25 yards Warm-Up Side shuffle 25 yards, ½ turn side shuffle 25 yards using opposite muscle group Quadricep Stretch: bring heel to butt, hold for 3 seconds, step forward and switch legs 15 yards Straight-leg march (hamstrings and gluteus muscles): kick one leg straight out in front, with the toes flexed and pointed straight up; reach the opposite arm to the upturned toes; drop the leg and repeat with the opposite leg and arm repeat sequence at least 6 or 7 times Scorpion (lower back, hip flexors and gluteus muscles) Lie on stomach with arms outstretched and feet flexed so only toes are touching ground Kick right foot toward left arm, then kick left foot toward right arm Begin slowly and repeat up to 12 times Handwalks (shoulders, core muscles, hamstrings) Stand straight with legs together Bend over until both hands are flat on ground "Walk" with hands forward until back is almost extended Keeping legs straight, inch feet towards hands Walk with hands forward again Repeat 5 or 6 times. Calf Stretch: Bend left leg, place right heel forward with toes flexed and gently lean down towards toes (swtich) Repeat 5-7 times
3 Plyometrics Plyometric exercises are specialized, high intensity training techniques used to build power and speed, improve coordination and agility. Plyometric training involves high-intensity, explosive muscular contractions that invoke the stretch reflex (stretching the muscle before it contracts so that it contracts with greater force). It is important to note that these exercises are not endurance exercies; therefore they should not exhaust a player physically. It is important to recognize that these are high risk exercises and if performed incorrectly or performed without a solid base of training, plyometrics can increase the risk of injury. Therefore, we will offer a training day in June to properly teach the mechanics of our plyometric drills. The most important aspect of a safe and effective plyometric program is developing a safe landing technique; it must be soft. When you land from a jump, you want to softly accept your weight on the balls of your feet slowly rolling back to the heel with a bent knee and a straight hip. By using the whole foot (and a larger surface area) for landing it helps dissipate the impact forces on the joints. The other key to proper landing is to avoid any twisting or sideways motion at the knee.. Safety Tips: Warm up thoroughly before starting plyometrics Start slowly with small jumps and gradually build up Land softly (see above) to absorb shock Allow plenty of rest between plyometric workouts Stop immediately if you feel any pain in your joints * Elizabeth Quinn on Sports Medicine
4 Plyometric Drills Plyometric Workout A: (ACL Injury Prevention Workout) 1) Lateral Hops over Cone (2 x 6 reps) Purpose: Increase power/strength emphasizing neuromuscular control. Stand with a 6" cone to your left. Hop to the left over the cone softly landing on the balls of your feet land bending at the knee. Repeat this exercise hopping to the right. 2) Forward/Backward Hops over cone (2 x 6 reps) Purpose: Increase power/strength emphasizing neuromuscular control. Hop over the cone/ball softly landing on the balls of your feet and bending at the knee. Now, hop backwards over the ball using the same landing technique. Be careful not to snap your knee back to straighten it. You want to maintain a slight bend to the knee. 3) Single Leg hops over cone (2 x 6 reps) Purpose: Increase power/strength emphasizing neuromuscular control. Hop over the cone/ball landing on the ball of your foot bending at the knee. Now, hop backwards over the ball using the same landing technique. Be careful not to snap your knee back to straighten it. You want to maintain a slight bend to the knee. Now, stand on the left leg and repeat the exercise. 4) Vertical Jumps with headers (2 x 6 reps) Purpose: Increase height of vertical jump. Stand forward with hands at your side. Slightly bend the knees and push off jumping straight up. Remember the proper landing technique; accept the weight on the ball of your foot with a slight bend to the knee. 5) Scissors Jump (2 x 6 reps) Purpose: Increase power and strength of vertical jump. Lunge forward leading with your right leg. Keep your knee over your ankle. Now, push off with your right foot and propel your left leg forward into a lunge position. Be sure your knee does not cave in or out. It should be stable and directly over the ankle. Remember the proper landing technique; accept the weight on the ball of your foot with a slight bend to the knee.
