Looks like clubs are going to train as much outdoors this winter even up here in the Northeast with uncertainty of indoor centers being available. I support this as we ski anyway but looking for tips, brands for gear to play soccer in outdoors when its in the 20s and 30s. Regular soccer socks aren't made of wool. I am thinking insulated snow pants would be tough to run in.

Honestly, if they are training they will warm up fast. Some wear leggings under their shorts and long sleeves under their shorts (i.e. Under Armor). Gloves for some, and a skullcap/headband. Maybe a sweatshirt/warm-up top. If they are training and not standing around, that will be fine.
When they are not playing, then you put on a thick overcoat.
Please don't be the parent that dresses your kid with big ski mittens and a hat with a pom-pom on the top and a giant parka. Please.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostDuh, layers just like skiing. Long johns under sweat pants and layers up top, all of which can be shed if they get too warm. Ear warmers or hats - hats might get too hot but your ears get cold easily. Probably a thin wool sock with a soccer sock over that. Obviously gloves, maybe bring a thin pair and a warmer pair to adjust as needed. Coaches need to keep players moving. It doesn't take long for a chill to set in if you're sitting/standing around

experienced coaches will offer plenty of stretching and warm-up I hope or injuries on cold days.
Lots of moving with little standing.
water bottle room temp so it doesn't freeze, and cocoa in the thermos.

Don’t think either MYSA or US Club Soccer advocate playing in freezing temperatures. A good coach wouldn’t risk illness or injury to players at sub-freezing temps. Little benefit to practice in those conditions. Upper 30’s-low 40’s maybe, but not below that.

Guess you think people on Canada watch tv all winter?
People train for marathons outside in the Northeast all winter. It’s good for you.
