[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS plays for MLSN.  The coach will cancel if there is a drop of rain, okay, that is a bite of an exaggeration.   If we play on Sunday, he will cancel Monday practice and will not make it up.  We should be practicing four days a week like the rest of the MLSN team in the club, but we only have practices outside and one video session a week.   [/quote]

nice job, troll--after a Sunday match, Monday is a recovery day.[/quote]

How funny is it when a crazy says something like that out loud with such confidence?
That's why it's a steep mountain to climb for us to catch up with the rest of the soccer world.
Kids playing in our top league with parents who are clueless. [/quote]

Ok expert.  I've seen you before saying it's hilarious when non-expert says  . . . .  or when its funny when a non expert says . . . .

Are you 100% positive that a recovery day is needed when a team plays one game on a Sunday when they've had Saturday off, and likely Friday as a built in rest day before Saturday games?  It's an 80 or 90 minute game with a roster of 18 and it's likely that 5 or fewer players played the entire match.  Just asking for your expertise.  If they play on Saturday should they cancel their Sunday game, because there are lots of two-game weekends.[/quote]

If your son is on a MLS Next team, then the schedule is known well in advance barring few exceptions. 
The team recovery days are (should be) built in the periodization training/game cycle of their week.

I seriously doubt your kid's team is using data metrics to track exertion of each player over the week in order to determine individual needs of need more/need less. So them being kids, it's best to use general cautious approach.

Games being on Saturday & Sunday is not within your control, so you play them using your players judiciously. Knowing you'll never get 100% out of them on Sunday and fatigue leads to injuries and more mistakes.
The training week is within your control.

The 5 players and everyone else should use their discretion to do on their own that which is prudent on team rest days.
Active recovery can be done or a light or medium exertion workout. Or nothing.

I know you were throwing around "expert" as sarcasm and cynicism, but you're welcome anyway. [/quote]

Right.  So they can train on Monday.  And you didn't need to mock a poster and blame the state of US soccer on them.  You're welcome.[/quote]

Nothing improves if not identified and called out.
Until parental knowledge of the sport improves, youth development in general remains handicapped.
Intellectual dishonesty does no one any favors.

They can train 5/6 days a week. 
Just like you can drink alcohol 7 days a week and eat junk food 7 days a week.

Just be prepared for the lagging effects.[/quote]
