⚽️💥 Injury Prevention Just Got an Upgrade! 💪🛡️
There’s a new warm-up in town—and it’s making a big difference. The FUNBALL program, designed for teenage soccer players, is helping cut down on injuries across the board 🙌
Teams that used FUNBALL just twice a week saw fewer overall injuries, especially to the thigh, and fewer moderate to severe setbacks. That means more game time, fewer days on the sidelines, and happier players all round! 🔁👟
FUNBALL mixes footy-specific drills with exercises that challenge your brain and body—keeping things fun while protecting you from harm.
✅ Less soreness
✅ Fewer missed matches
✅ More confident players
If you coach or play with teens, this is one warm-up worth sticking with! 🧠⚽️🔥
