For this, a descriptive study in which three sessions of ten (10) different clubs training were observed, totaling thirty (30) training sessions analyzed. The training session was divided into three phases: preparatory activity, training and calm return (relaxation). The analysis of the training was done without interfering with the routine proposed by the coaches. As a result it was found that the dynamic active (DA) stretching was present in 16 (53 %) of the training sessions, all of which (100 %) as a preparatory activity. Static passive (SP) stretching was distributed in the preparatory activity in 9 sessions (30 %) and the calm return in 8 sessions (27 %), also present in the two moments in 7 sessions (23 %). Furthermore the technique of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) was not used by coaches/trainers at the present study. The number of sets and repetitions for AD stretching were 1 (93.7 %) and 2 (6.03 %); 10 (62.5 %) and 15 (37.5%), respectively. For stretching the number of SP series and the duration of stretching were as preparatory activity, 1 (100 %) and 2 (0%); 10 to 20s (94 %) and 21 to 30 s (0.6%), and calm returning 1 (100 %) and 2 (0%); 10 to 20s (73 %) and 21 to 30s (27%), respectively.
