Lunges are so last decade. Bear crawls up mountains into headwinds with parachutes are a minimum to make to a club like Pipeline

I like to focus on skills during the summer where the regular season is more about team training. I find some good soccer camps that focus on skill training. My son (U10) has gone to a couple of weeks of Phillip Gyau camp at Howard, will be at a fun camp (DC United) and will be playing a few 3V3 live tournaments.

Otherwise their kids would be limping into the season with a sub-par performance (and likely injured).


You have no sense of humor.


No - just an underachiever.

Those are for the lite days. Heavy days should be 13-14 over two a day.

Hasn’t Pipeline gone full time residential? I heard that in addition to the 12 hours a day training, they wire the kids heads to a computer at night to train their brains while they sleep.


I've heard that Pipeline is also the best club in Southern CAL too.

You just hired a trainer?

Does the trainer have an opinion about the duration/intensity of training, or will he/she just execute your plan from the internet?

Probably 7-8 hours each day.
