Training over the Fall Season

[Unregistered]

Why do some clubs train over the fall, while some clubs do not? Talking about boys u16 and up.

Because some club coaches think that HS coaches are clueless and they want to try and undo the damage done during the HS season before bad habits become engrained.

Club Fall training for high school age players is usually optional - for good reason. Players need rest and recovery days. Overtraining does not correlate to results. High school players practice/play sometimes 6 days a week. Any "bad habits" can be corrected by any decent club coach after high school season is over.

Positive. If they were then they wouldn't overplay their players, but the do. Just ask the Stars.

Spoken from ignorance. I have a U15 Stars player who's team is doing no training at all until the HS season is over. Nice try though...

Club coaches?!?

I don't see any club coaches running 2 a day practices for 3 weeks followed by 2 months of 6 days a week practices / games.

That is strictly a trick reserved for the HS coaches.

The club coaches need to keep the kids healthy for the other 10 months of the year. They are generally have much more to lose if they let kids get overtrained.

Ask your U19s team.

There are two U19s on our HS team and they are not training either.

So you're kid isn't playing Stars (anymore, or ever). Big deal; it isn't and can't be for everyone. Don't be so pitiful.

news flash: a lot of the high school coaches also coach club

U18 Stars team. Overplayed. Too many injured going into college preseason as a result or just plain worn out.

And how do you know this. There are at least 50 club coaches who coach HS. They train or play 5-6 days per week.
BTW - most HS coaches back of the intense practices once the season starts. You are playing 2 to 3 games per week so practices become opportunities to reinforce technical stuff with the weaker players and tactical issues with the experienced players.

Different poster responding. Just talked to my A licensed friend whose offspring plays HS describe how the HS coach is coaching the team. It's great if he was coaching a track team and the place kickers on the football team. Maybe that has something to do with the complaints many HS coaches get in this forum.
