I am looking to have my child do training in the off-season, but I am looking at nonsoccer training (strength, agility, speed work). How many use this in the off-season and what type of benefits have you seen?

Whether you are on a competitive swim team or the local YMCA kids will be doing at least 2000 yards a day. They will be a stronger different athlete when soccer season resumes.

My $.02. As a former personal trainer I would look for a program that focuses on injury prevention and stability before strength and agility. If you don't balance the athlete’s strength and weaknesses you are setting them up for failure {serious injury}. As older age groups practice/play 10 months or more per year this becomes evident in the increase of season ending injuries {especially females with ACL injuries}. Most players are doing the same/similar workouts and cool downs for most of the year. My daughter's {U17} off season work consists of body weight exercises, biking and core conditioning. She does not participate in ANY soccer style training. I believe your idea of Non soccer activities is best. Our results have been four years of injury free play. She starts/plays High School and Club. She plays 90% or more of every game on both Teams.
Good luck to your player and best wishes for an injury free season.

Thank you for the response.
The overall goal is injury prevention...as well as developing overall athleticism.

Find a trainer who knows what they're doing and that works with young athletes. It's easy enough to hang a "trainer"shingle in the door. Ask around for recommendations.

Yes if his teens do some kickboxing. It is a great way to strength the muscles and flexibility is improved. along with the right amount of muscle build. You can do a class or do one on one. the one on one lets you work on areas you want.

Thank you for all of the information...
Up until last year, my daughter played both soccer and lacrosse and has decided to focus on soccer (almost required with how long the season runs) and we were looking for something to do to maintain a high level of conditioning but also allowed for improvement that was not just playing more soccer.
I have found a training center, the guy who runs it has worked as a strength and conditioning coach at a few high-level D1 schools and came highly recommended from not only a few other soccer players but athletes from other sports as well.
