Ask any coach and they will tell you that players are built in the summer and teams are built in the fall. If your not on my team, please take a summer break. My kid will be in the gym to prevent injuries and on the field getting better!

He then will sit in our newly installed sauna to in order to sweat out any impurities and loosen any muscle tightness. This of course will be followed by a quick shower, 1.5 hours allotted TV viewing of the FOX soccer channel follow by his routine cocktail of Motrin and Ambein. No too shabby for a 10 year old. I'm the best day ever!

Even teachers give kids an academic agenda of activities to compete during the summer. Fundementals of success dont change, whether is sports, academic or the arts. Everyone works during the summers. Dancers, band, gymnast, writers, golfers, actors, artist, math majors, etc. etc. Stick to your program of mediocrity.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI don't understand your thinking. My kid plays competitive soccer for 10 straight months. During that time she also works on her craft 2 times a week with a trainer and she is only a teenager. Our season does not end until the end of May and picks back up the first of Aug. You're talking around 7-8 weeks off from competitive soccer. Tell me what sport or professional player plays on a competitive level every month of the year? NFL players take several months off after their brutal season, so do baseball, hockey, basketball, golf, and yes even soccer players. Nobody says they aren't training but they certainly aren't playing year round. For me, your academia argument does hold water either. I'm not sure you can compare actors, artists, and math majors to same rigors of a 12 month competitive soccer season. The more I read your comments, the more it is evident that you've never played on an elite level and have no real concept of what it takes to prepare your body for the long term. I would challenge you to ask any college coach if their players are required or even encouraged to play 12 months of competitive soccer with no time for rest, rehab, and healing. Good luck with your kid. I hope you find personal happiness through his/her sports.

College coaches and pros don't either as they all have summer programs and off season work outs especially when they have so much at stake. Most true soccer authorities don't respect the level of youth training and coaching here in FL so there goes your ask an expert comment. Most people I speak with take summers off just to get away from soccer not because they feel there kid has worked so hard they need rest. The over use issue relates to the result of only playing one sport so they actually try and incorporate cross training or participate in other activities.
You are entitled to your opinion so best of luck with your kid and I hope you achieve personal happiness.Take two months off and then have fun playing catch up of what she lost while watching SpongeBob.

That being said, is the Super Y experience worth it, travel and competition good or bad, wish your kid and family would have had the summer off... just trying to figure out if it is worth it, or enjoy the summer.
- the rosters are large and the coaches made a point of letting the parents know NOT to miss vacations, trips, etc. for Super Y. They have enough players to field a team
- we did some vacations (Miami, Tampa, etc) around Super Y games
- there were a LOT of lightning cancels for practices and games. Sucks when you drive 3 hours to get cancelled
- was more fun because there was a lot less pressure, and there were kids who weren't part of the regular club teams
- cheaper than camps
- can be hot as heck particularly on the turf fields down in S Florida. Be careful with that!
To each his/her own, but it was a good experience for us without a lot of extra wear and tear. We got to keep up skills, go on vacation, go on extra trips around games, meet new people/friends, sweat a lot.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou must not have played at an elite level. Physical training and rehabbing actually take place simultaneously in todays training environment. My kids take family vacations and rest but we don't take summers off, is all I'm saying. You are actually doing a lot with your kid which makes sense in soccer development. Your daughter seem to be working hard. Most people with that level of investment would not typically take a couple months off for summer vacation and HD TV.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSounds like you have years competing at the highest level. With all your experience working with the worlds best coaches and trainers I'd be foolish to have this debate with you. Since you're a "true authority" on this matter I guess the advice published by the AAP, ACSM, and NATA have absolutely no merit whatsoever on the importance of off season rest and rehab. Seriously, why would anyone consult medical authorities like those when they could just come on here and get the best advise from a washed up Dad that kicked ass playing competitive rec soccer 30 years ago. As a matter of fact, I'm going to cancel our vacation, sell my HD TV, and take down my kids sponge bob poster and play Super Y so my kid be as awesome as yours. Thanks for sharing all your wisdom. 2024 Olympics here we come!

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe original Poster made a some good points. All the poster said is stay and shape and remain active while resting, taking vacation etc. No serious soccer player even wants to sit around the whole summer. You make no sense and appear to be an out of control troll. You are probably wasting your money and are delusional about your kid. You should take the summer off and probably next season too!
