1/4 of a full size field-- which works out to 1/2 of a 7v7 field with a small goal

Half a full sized field, 3 nights a week. RL level team.

I would be complaining to my club if there were pickup players trying to use the field during club practices. That's not safe.

We are at Herndon, this is my kid's first year and last year there. The practice space is so small! Four high school teams sharing one field at every practice. I don't understand what we are paying for. The fields are also overrun with pickup players even during practices. This has not happened in practices at any club since u9.

Folks think their kids need big spaces to train, like they need oversized houses and suv's
Then wonder why in games kids can't figure ways out of tight spaces


this sounds like the kind of nonsense a club admin or club director who failed to secure enough field space would post. You can always use less space than you are alloted for certain drills.

There is no norm
Training field requirements are tied to the drills being done that day


This makes no sense.


Small field 5 v 5 drills use same space as counterattack and crossing drills?


No, but usually the club assigns the field space at the start of the season, without regard to what your plans are each particular week.

Some clubs are better than others. We are playing U13, but we literally get 1/6 to 1/8 of field it's a joke 2 days per week.

1 Day per week, we get half a field.
