FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

             Maccabi GB prepare for Israel 2005 - 17th Maccabiah Games

            FPL kicks-off coach development program for Maccabi GB Futsal Team

  Sep 2004
  The Maccabiah 2005 Games loom ever closer, and after a poor show first time around, Maccabi GB
  are taking their Futsal seriously.

  Coaching staff from U16, U18, Adult Men's and Men's 35+ went though the C1 level coach workshop
  as a first step toward improving their performance next year.
 
  The under 16 team and coaching staff will be working closely with the FPL academy team to work on
   their match skills and fitness development in the run up to the games. Andy Zeller, head coach of the
  Under 16 squad is adamant that his team will make a marked improvement on last years inaugural
  steps into Futsal. "We'll be working with the FPL team to develop every aspect of our game, and we
  have a lot to do in order to catch up on. The quality of some of the more experienced European teams
  sets a high standard for us to catch up on", says Andy.

  Andy is determined to work on fitness as well as the technical and tactical aspects of the team
  performance. A qualified  fitness trainer from the FPL will also be taking a close look at conditioning
  for the team as part of this custom program. The physiology of a good Futsal player makes special
  demands on a player and Andy wants to make sure that even with limited time left before games
  commence, that his team prepare as best they can.
