1. Physical Periodization of Training

Periodization in soccer is simply the systematic planning of training. It involves periodic cycling of aspects of the game from a technical, tactical, and physical standpoint during a specific period. This involves creating training programs with different goals for a specific stage of a season or players' development.

There are several elements that will provide the foundation of our periodization:

• Microcycle

  • Training Session Components

    • ADT
      • "Activations," which are 12-20 minutes, begin each session. These are led by an Athletic Development Coach, and assisted by the Technical/Head Coach and Athletic Trainers.
• One out of the three morning sessions is fully devoted to Athletic Development Training, led by an Athletic Development Coach and assisted by the Athletic Trainers. ADT Topics include Gymnastics, Strength Training, Multi-Directional Speed and Agility (MDSA) Training, and Competitive Coordinative Games (CCG).
