    Every soccer boy should be able to run a mile in under 6 minutes...preferrable under 5:30
    More so, they should be able to run a half mile in under 2:20; a 1/4 mile under 60 seconds, and a 200 meter in under 28 second.

    Maybe they should be able to run a 2 mile in under 11:00?
    How about a 5K in under 17:00 or a 10K in under 38:00....afterall, the average soccer player runs 3+ miles per game.

    The fact that only 2-3 posts provide and credible information, illustrates one of two things about most TS posters. They are:
    1. Incapable of reading comprehension or
    2. Simply clueless


    FWIW: There are a couple of D2 women's programs (one in NE and another in the SE) that have a mile time trial fitness test. They are looking for field players to hit 6:40 or better to make the team.

    Actually, my post was for boys.....
    Girls should be able to run a mile in around 6

      Train 5-10k's for a strong cardio base, shorter distance sprints (<100m) and intervals for anerobic conditioning, strength training for lower body and core. I know college programs who use the beep test, 40's, 1/4 mile times and 2 mile times as fitness tests. None of those things are specific tonsoccer, just general fitness and athleticism. If you are fit, you will test well regardless. If you are not, you won't. Most programs don't rely on just one test, so don't get hung up on training for a specific test.

        My D is playing D2 in the fall and they are required to run a 2 mile in under 14 minutes, they don't have a guide for the 1 mile.

            It was the 12 ounce curls that slowed her times

              Oh definitely, don’t forget a haircut. Losing those curls will drop a few seconds off a 200

                Make sure she shaves her legs too :)

                  It wasn't the weight training that slowed her down. It was the diet, or lack thereof. I'm sure she packed on muscle, but she likely didn't drop fat to maintain a lean weight. If she came into the competitive season stronger, but heavier, she likely got slower.

                    In other words...

                    NOT useless in soccer?

                      Has anyone EVER argued running a timed distance is a great measure of how good a soccer player one is? I know I've read a lot of coach bashing on TS based on that straw man, but I've never actually come across a human being, much less a soccer coach, who said anything like that.

                        Pretty straightforward. But it's TS, so we need dozens of bull**** posts to muddy the waters.
