Our club isn’t really offering much for practices this winter. Maybe one practice every two weeks? The weather isn’t that cold many days of the week. Not sure why they aren’t getting them outdoors if indoor spaces are limited, Not going to mention club so this doesn’t turn into attacking one club but wondering in general if other clubs are doing something for their kids?

Bayside going full speed ahead. Younger kids indoors, older kids outdoors. -
Bayside? Isn’t that a RI club? Didn’t you guys go on another three week lock down for sports? I thought you guys were phased back to no games or scrimmages? So are RI clubs and leagues just playing anyway?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Nothing is stopping motivated kids from training on their own. In fact, if the older ones aren't they will be screwed when things pick up again. the last thing a coach want to see on film (if they look) is a fat out of shape kid. ....Comment

That’s a crappy statement. If your club charge tuition for winter they need to provide a couple practices or futsal a week... something.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Kids no matter the age are struggling with self motivation right now. Not for lack of love for the sport but because they are shut off from friends, distance learning etc. Soccer with teammates provides a social, emotional and physical outlet way beyond being fit.Comment

Full steam ahead. Fitness training 1x/week. Training mid-week in intra-squad scrimmages on the weekends. It's a 10+ month endeavor.Comment

Is all this provided by your clan or are you paying extra?Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
How many times a week is training for “full steam ahead.”?
How old is your player?
I think my teen girl needs 3-4 times a week over the winter to stay fit.
Sadly her club is once a week sometimes every other week so we have to pay for extra clinics.
The coach says it’s because they can’t rent the school gyms like they used to do?
Why not go to Teamwork’s or something?Comment

-Part of club tuition, not paying extra.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
-3x through January, 4x in February

-Likely, but other than the one strength/fitness time, that's handled outside the club training and is done on her own
I can see facilities/availability being an issue for many clubs this winter. Ours happens to own their own and are remaining open as long as the state allows them to.Comment

Why not hire a strength and conditioning trainer for 2x per week? You could then have her do individual training using Techne or Renegade online programs 3 or 4 times a week.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Sure. On top of club fees let's hire a trainer or subscribe to an online program.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Good ideas but the poster is asking what each club is providing so as to compare one club vs it’s competition.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

One indoor, one outdoor (weather dependent) each week.Comment

Schools don't want the liability of outside organizations during this and second I wouldn't bank on clubs using indoor facilities as much as they have in the past. If you can be outdoors in February, why commit to indoor time. Heck today is not too bad and we are talking late December.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I hired a club. Not getting much from them. If not important enough for my kid to work out on her own or with small groups of friends near her, too bad for her. She was just told that if she continues to do nothing unless I pay for it, then she can pay for it next year. Am thinking that the patch is more important to her than the game or her results. Am hoping they start up again soon and the coach benches her @$$ so she learns something. But he doesn't have the balls. I do though and if she does not change her ways she can play travel next year.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
