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.
1. What is the basic principle of off season training?
2. What consists of injury prevention training?
