The team gelled together in the second stage

Following the final match of the season, the coaching staff of the Orange-and-Blacks organised a training programme focused on recovery. Today, May 28, the Miners held another session at the Academy facility in Shchaslyve.

Activities began with a running warm-up to prepare the muscles for exertion. The footballers then moved on to relay-style aerobic work featuring recreational exercises. The main part of the training session was dedicated to tactical drills and ended with a small-sided game involving a variety of tasks.

Nadiia Chaika, forward:

– We focused on recovery training in the first week after the league ended: we’ve been working with the ball on the pitch, as well as maintaining general fitness in the gym. As for the season as a whole, it was certainly an intense one. While the first half was tough due to the changes in the squad, the team gelled together in the second stage and proved capable of competing with the league’s strongest sides.

This training week will be the final one of the 2024/25 season for Shakhtar women’s team. On 30 May, the players will go on vacation, returning to the training base on 1 July for scheduled medical examinations and testing ahead of preparations for the new season.
