famous for. The ICA Fitness and Conditioning Course specializes in the
very latest, creative, and result producing soccer training available.
The speed of the modern game is totally different from 40 years ago, and
in 20 years will be unrecognizable from today, but how?
The player's
speed may improve minimally with the further advances in sports science,
the playing surfaces also, the ball technology, but the major changes
will be in the creativity of the players agility , range of movements,
and unusual ball skills.
The ICA Fitness and Conditioning Course teaches you, through a series
of drills, movements and
applications, to explore the imagination and creative
side of fitness training.
The balancing of the training is of fundamental importance in the needs
of the modern player, a strong body and a strong mind. The need for
creativity, that spark of genius, that unexpected movement, can and does
upset the most sophisticated team systems, tactics, and organization. So
alongside the tactical/ technical and physical drills, creative and
reactive drills are demonstrated using video, animation and superb 3-D
graphics.

rhythmic, well round players, who posses mastery of the ball, wherever the
play demands, and above all, to make every training session a very

the world of football fitness is it’s ability to be done solo, in a
group, indoors, outdoors, all ages, sexes. and at any time.
