Spring-Ford Girls Flag Football

One of my club sport athletes (high level club soccer) sophomores today told me that her club coach said “If you want to play at that D1 level, you need to get stronger/faster.” This club practices 4x/wk and then travels most weekends leaving 1-2 days off at most for 6+ months a year, not counting their school sport. That leaves very little time to “get stronger/faster.” The clubs that want to push kids to high levels, tell them what they need to do (outside of skill work) but don’t facilitate the necessary opportunities (free time) to fully develop physically speaking.
