My daughter is a frosh at a D3 program with a pretty loose off-season program, and I'm interested in finding out what the off-season training at D1 programs consists of. Is it pretty much the same as the summer pre-season training program? The more detail the better. Thanks in advance for any info.

Have her go hire a strength and conditioning coach then spend 3 hours 3x a week working with them. Here is a program from Louisville to give you a sense of what a D1 program is doing for off season work.

Why would a D3 player waste her time with that? Shouldn't she be studying?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Depends if you think your D3 player is actually a D1 player in disguise and your are willing to pay even more money pretending.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Big difference between the divisions is the spring season which equates to roughly 5 weeks and 4 hours of practice 5 days a week.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Assuming this is not a troll-inspired thread...
Her winter training should follow the same type of calendar/periodization as her summer program - December/January should be off-season training with a focus on building up a base of endurance, full body strength, core and balance. February/March should be an early to late preseason focus with more explosive exercises, speed, agility, etc. Then by late March/April she should start her non-traditional season with her college team and go to an in-season type training adjustment for the off field conditioning.
Doesn't matter what the DIs do, matters what her coach expects in terms of fitness, speed, and type of measurement tests, etc.
Good luck.Comment

This is what ultimately impacts the quality of soccer. It is more supervised on ball training. You can run and work out all that you like, ultimately it the number of touches a player takes during the off season that will impact their standing on their team the most. If a D3 player wants to prepare for the next year they have to play a lot of soccer during the winter and spring. Unfortunately that is hard to do given the school and club limitations that exist.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

In all honesty....find a program on line specific to soccer. Most colleges have these already. In the end during June/July and August RUN, RUN AND RUN SOME MORE....both distance and sprints. You cannot run enough sprints. Touch the ball every day and play as often as you can. Sounds simple and it is. How a player trains in the offseason and summer will likely determine how successful they play during the season. it truly is all about how hard and diligent you train in the offseason both running, lifting and touches with the ball....there are no shortcuts.
