Performance Training Program FAQs
Here are some common questions from parents considering Kids Soccer at KDV Sport.
Who are the Performance Training Programs designed for?
Performance Training is suited to players who already have a solid foundation and want to improve speed, strength, agility, and game-specific conditioning. These programs are ideal for competitive juniors and athletes looking to take their soccer performance to the next level.
How is Performance Training different from regular soccer coaching?
While soccer coaching focuses on technical and tactical skills, Performance Training targets the physical demands of the game. Sessions emphasise movement efficiency, acceleration, change of direction, power, and injury resilience—key factors that influence on-field performance.
Are the sessions soccer-specific or general fitness?
Training is soccer-specific. Exercises and drills are designed around the movement patterns, intensity, and physical demands of match play, ensuring improvements translate directly to performance on the field.
How often should athletes attend Performance Training?
Most athletes benefit from one to two sessions per week, depending on age, training load, and competition schedule. Programs are structured to complement team training, not compete with it.
Is Performance Training suitable for injury prevention and long-term development?
Yes. A major focus is building strong movement foundations, balanced strength, and proper load management. This helps reduce injury risk while supporting sustainable, long-term athletic development.
