This is for Aspiring D1 athletes So in order for kids to avoid injury and stay in shape when soccer season is over and avoid overuse injuries they should first participate in inactive rest for two weeks. Do nothing just relax unwind be a kid do some of the stuff you missed during the soccer season Let you muscles just rest. After two weeks - 3 weeks. begin a program of active rest. Active rest is training that strengthens the muscles not normally used in soccer, the glutes , hamstrings ,core , stretching ,plyometrics etc . balance out your conditioning so that you get rid of injury causing muscular imbalances like weak glutes compared to extremely strong over developed quads. After 4 weeks begin to incorporate interval running training for conditioning while working technical. Before season starts. Rest another week and begin to play. Take month December off if you can. -

You do realize that both PDA & MF ECNL - not the pre ECNL teams played the least number of games in the country this year. Like the OP said they think they are too good to get injured by less than teams so they don’t play. Just look it up on US youth soccer rankings - it’s crazy to see that PDA Blue falls to #1 when they don’t play 1/2 the number of games as the #2 listed team. In almost every Age group. What a waste of talent and money.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

I watched the recent olympics to see if the players were wearing turfs - all I saw were wearing cleats on turf. Does the idea of not to wear cleats on turf apply to developing kids only?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Google Nike artificial grass cleats for more info! Google “ difference between turfs and artificial grass cleats.Comment

Most parents are not aware of them, They just assume everyone is wearing firm ground cleats that you wear on grass. So when their kid complains that turfs are too slippery on 3g grass, they relent and let their kid wear grass cleats. Think of it this way. Turfs are generally meant for indoors and matted artificial grass. Artificial grass cleats ( already prevalent in American football) should be worn outside on newer artificial turf fields which were put down in parks and fields in the early 2000's.( longer hairs of grass with artificial rubber pellets) Firm ground cleats on grass only.
Hope this helps-Comment

Not enough do which is one reason why there's so many injuries. Face it, it's not cheap to buy two sets of cleats and you're less inclined to do so if you don't play club soccerOriginally posted by Guest View PostComment

Just want to get the terminologies right. Is outdoor turf the same as artificial grass and indoor turf as turf? I am a bit confused by these terms.Comment
