Periodization is used to create a systematic training plan for teams over the course of a soccer year. This involves using progressive increases and decreases of different training components, such as strength, power, speed, endurance. The training differs for each period of the season and reflects different training goals specific to that time of the season. The concept helps players reach their peak performance at targeted competitions or times of the year.
For Skyline Elite teams, there are many matches and competitions throughout a soccer year. Team plans involve measures to prepare for the start of the competitive season, maintain fitness throughout, and peak at critical points during the season.
The Skyline Elite coaching staff develop and maintain periodization plans for all teams in the club. The inclusion of rest and recovery periods within a seasonal calendar and annual plan is critically important and is taken into consideration in team plan development.
Participation on U16-U19 Skyline Elite teams is NOT mutually exclusive with, nor should discourage players from, playing high school soccer. Players are expected to attend limited team training preparing them for high profile spring college showcase events, which are vital for the college recruiting process. Significant efforts are made to avoid interference with regular season high school play.
