July 8, 2016: Our mascot LiCec introduces our next Fast Footwork Friday edition: the happy feet challenge! Happy feet activities help develop balance, coordination, a soft touch on the ball, quick feet, leg strength and endurance. All of these are important for soccer players.
There are 9 different challenge levels, starting pretty easy at level 1, but getting harder and harder as you advance to level 9. Click this link for complete details to the Fast Footwork Friday happy feet challenge, including 20-second video demos of each level.
We encourage the girls to give it a try!
Says LiCec: “I won’t be able to help, but my uncle Cecil might be hiding in the trees cheering for you. These challenges are hard, but if they were easy, anyone could do them! Be patient, believe in yourself, and with practice, you can become a ruler!”
Parents, please feel free to join in, whether as your daughter’s training partner, #1 fan, timer, or some combination of the above. Also feel free to send coach Ward a note of your daughter’s new record (level 2), or a brief video we can add to our video catalog. (A Vine link is perfect.)
Girls: good luck, and have fun!
