World Cup Pride Style | |

| At a time where soccer seems to be getting more and more serious with our younger age groups we took a different approach to our girls’ winter clinic this year. In an effort to educate the players on the World Cup tournament that will be taking place in South Africa in 2010 we split the girls into four teams (England, Brazil, Germany and Italy). In addition to the training session each week the girls were given soccer homework that they had to complete that earned points for their world cup team. Camp Director Sian Hudson said ‘the girls really got into it. Each week they went above and beyond with their homework tasks and really enjoyed the festival atmosphere that we created. It was definitely a camp that not only worked on improving the players’ skills but one that created a positive and fun environment at the same time. Congratulations to Brazil and Italy for their victories but to all the players for the effort they put forth’. | |
Five Pride Girls on Colorado's ODP team going to Nationals!
Kaeli Vanderslius, Sarah Schweiss, Cate Parchinski, Andi Tostanoski and Darcy Jerman (pictured left to right) were 5 of the 16 girls selected to represent the 93/94 CO team at the ODP Championships in Phoenix, AZ January 16-19. All five girls played a key role in helping CO beat Southern California in both pool play and in the final to take the Region IV ODP Championship. While Jerman, Vandersluis, Parchinski and Schweiss have all represented the state team at this level previously a special mention has to go to Andi Tostanoski who was the only goalkeeper on the team and who, according to State Director Nate Shotts made some huge saves during the tournament.
This is the first time a CO team has qualified for Nationals for a few years and is all the more memorable when you consider that So Cal dominates the Championships every year and this year claimed 5 of the 8 titles. Pride would like to tell all 5 girls how proud we are of their accomplishments and wish them all the best as they prepare for the National ODP Championships in Phoenix, AZ March 11-14 2010. Way to go Girls!

The Importance of a Warm up Prior to Soccer Training
As with any type of exercise, it is important to engage in a warm up session prior to soccer training. While you are training to increase the overall effectiveness of your skill and technique in soccer, it is important to warm up the muscles throughout the body to ensure that you reduce the chance for injury. Engaging in soccer training can be physically tolling on the body. If you fail to prepare the body for the workout, you may find that your training sessions come to an end abruptly due to an injury, such as a sprain or muscle strain. I will share with you the overall importance of a warm up prior to soccer training in this article.....
