Pre-Season Training

Post by wtf »

Write what u think is the best time for juniors to start pre-season training

Ive been hearing things along the grape vine that some of the younger teams have been training since november last year.

in my mind this is far to early then because one thing its only a junior competition wait until there older and more mature to put them through tough and hard training sessions

some junior coaches take winning a lot more serious than others in my mind it makes coaches possessed and then this effects the team and there performances.

write what u think....!

most are starting about nowish giving them time to condition the lads and this way they can bond as a team.and its also not as hard as leaving it late and overworking the kids

wtf, I think the players starting early is a great idea, as it gets them fit and ready for the upcoming season. Lets face it when the boys are not training during the festive season some of them fall into bad habits and lose fitness.

By starting early you prevent this and fitness can be built on instead of having to play catch up all year. Also the development of the players is greater due to the extra training with the team.

Coaches that start early are not usually driven by obsession to win, they're usually driven by passion and a duty to develop the players to the best of their abilities.

Players who are well prepared go on to be champions rather than just adequate players!

Modbury 15's started our pre-season last night. Not because I'm obsessed with winning but because I like to see good football; which comes from good training (hopefully) and development.

And good training and player development comes from being prepared and that's what pre-season is helping these players be. Getting players fit means that they are able to handle the skill/tactics sessions better by lasting longer at a higher intensity.

Starting now (or now'ish'), also allows teams to bond together for the various friendlies that will be arranged.

I respect your opinion on starting now but I (and probably a lot of others) would disagree entirely.

Fair comment guys, take a look at how teams results improve as the season progresses.
Some teams kop harsh results early on then do well in the re-match later on in the year.
Lets not dribble on :lol: about dropping players down but assess that teams should improve the longer they play together.

Fitness is also important, "why does my son not get a full game ?" is often heard when the correct answer is often "when he is fit enough" cannot be reasoned.

Lay off eating 2 quarterpounders before the game and you should see am improvement. :roll:

Been there AND seen it :shock:

A lot of variables in this one.

If the team and coach have been together awhile they may not need an early start. If the coach and team are new then an early start may suit both so they get to know each other. Most start mid-late Jan but may train 1, 2 or 3 days per week.

All things considered I think all players need at least 4-6 week break from football between seasons. They may keep themselves in shape doing other things - other sports, running, swimming, etc but I think a break allows the body to rest and recover sufficiently to return refreshed and revitalised - which IMO results in a more effective pre-season.

Each to their own.
For the Game. For the World.
