[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some clubs just started practice a week or 2 before the season starts while I have friends in other clubs who have been training all Summer.

Its clear some clubs are just bout the money coaches leave right on time while others don’t mind staying a couple minutes late sometimes [/quote]

It can be a little more complicated than that. Some clubs have tourneys even as early as next weekend and need to start practicing well ahead of that. Others do not and cannot get full engagement from kids and parents until later August. We used to be with a club in the former category. They started early, practices only twice a week, did nothing with the winter, and had parents and assistant coaches run over half the practices. We start later now, do no tourneys until Columbus Day, have the head coach run every single practice three days per week and 90 minutes per session, and have full training and Futsal leagues and tourneys over the winter. I would take the latter any day of the week.  This is principally about when you want to do tourneys. I don’t think anybody would accuse my kids coaches, many of whom are at club offices during the day, of being part-timers looking for a check.  As far as the benefit of starting training earlier in the summer, don’t, as John Wooden said, confuse activity with accomplishment.
