Off-season training
Off-season training for kids, at home
When the season ends, kids can keep their touch, try other sports and rest, all at once. Free weekly workouts for every sport and age, printables for the fridge, and growth they can see against their own past.
Off-season is whenever your child's season is over: for a fall sport, roughly November to February.
Guides
Start with your sport
Soccer off-season training for kids
When the fall season ends, keep the ball rolling at home without turning it into a second season: short sessions, other ways to move, and real rest.
Winter soccer training at home
Cold, dark evenings and no field: ten drills laid out for a wall, a hallway or a garage, each drawn step by step, and a free week for your child's age.
Basketball off-season training for kids
Ball-handling in the driveway, shooting form at the garage hoop, and footwork in the kitchen: off-season basketball at home, at a pace a growing player can keep.

What the guidelines say about time off
- The American Academy of Pediatrics advises 2 to 3 months off a sport each year, in one-month blocks, and raising weekly training by no more than 10 to 20% at a time. HealthyChildren.org (American Academy of Pediatrics)
- The National Athletic Trainers' Association recommends fewer than 8 months a year in one sport, two rest days a week, and no more hours of organized sport a week than the child's age. NATA youth sport specialization recommendations
