The Princeton High School soccer coaching staff spends a great deal of time and energy analyzing the strengths and weakness of the returning players.
In order for the soccer program to maintain it’s high standards, ALL players must get physically stronger, quicker and more aggressive on the ball than our opponents. With this goal in mind we have put together a program to help you achieve your individual potential. Your hard work and commitment to this program will be crucial to our overall success.
Each player must believe he can become a better athlete, and a stronger soccer player. Make time to include your fitness program into your summer schedule.
