6/2/2008 FWU Sand Pit a Unique Training Bed
Fort Worth United Soccer Club is one of the few clubs in North Texas to possess a "sand pit" as part of their training facility. Located in between the FWU practice fields at FWU's Resource Connection Practice Facility, the "pit" was completed last month and readied for team use just in time for Summer Open Practices and Tryouts. Sand absorbs and disperses the downward force expended while running and hence, makes your muscles work much harder to produce the same result. It also adds a level of difficulty to ball control and requires quite a bit more balance to effectively maneuver on. FWU teams uses the sand pit as part of its strength and conditioning program. Shown above are the FWU 95 Boys Gold team (Classic D2) playing a game of "beach soccer" in the pit.
