1. Football (Soccer)
Warm-up drills focusing on dynamic stretching,
agility, and proprioception to reduce the risk of
muscle strains and ligamentous injuries. Technique
training for proper tackling, heading, and
landing to minimise the risk of head and neck
injuries.

1. Football (Soccer)
Strength and conditioning exercises target the
lower body, core, and stabilising muscles to
improve balance, stability, and resilience.

2.Basketball
Dynamic warm-up routines incorporating plyometric
exercises, lateral movements, and footwork drills
to enhance agility and reduce the risk of lower
extremity injuries. Emphasis on proper jumping
and landing mechanics to prevent ACL tears and
ankle sprains.

2. Basketball
Strength training exercises targeting the lower
body, core, and upper body to improve muscular
strength, endurance, and joint stability.

3. Running
Gradual progression of training volume and
intensity to prevent overuse injuries, such as
stress fractures, shin splints, and IT band
syndrome. Incorporation of cross- training
activities, such as cycling, swimming, or yoga,
to reduce repetitive strain on muscles and joints.

3. Running
Footwear assessment and gait analysis to ensure
proper shoe fit and running mechanics, reducing
the risk of foot, ankle, and knee injuries.

4. Gymnastics
P gressive skill development and technique
training to ensure proper execution of gymnastics
manoeuvres, reducing the risk of falls and
impact-related injuries. Focus on core strength,
flexibility, and proprioception to improve body
control, balance, and injury resilience.

4. Gymnastics
S pervised spotting and matting techniques to
provide additional safety measures during skill
progression and performance.

5. Tennis
Pre-match warm-up routines incorporate dynamic
stretching, ag ity drills, and tennis-specific
footwork patterns to reduce the risk of muscle
strains and joint injuries.
16
5. Tennis
Technique refinement for proper stroke mechanics
and body positioning t minimise stress on the
shoulders, elbows, and wrists. Strength and
conditioning exercises targeting the core,
shoulders, and lower body to improve power,
endurance, and injury resistance.
