    Was talking with other coaches and we could not agree so pitting it out there. If u train midweek at 7pm is it a disadvantage if u play at 2pm on a Saturday? Should u train on Saturday's or at least at the same time as ur games? Would love ur thoughts

    For professionals there may be some justification to training around match time.

    For amateurs I'd imagine it makes little difference.

    jobs and real life pretty much make doing something like that a no go. Hell even professional teams have their games at different times over a weekend from 7.30 friday night Rabo kick offs to 12.30 kick offs for HC games.

    So yes in a perfect world yes, but in reality nah you just have to get over it

    From experience imo it makes no difference. In school we trained at the same time as a week day match would be (i.e. after school), while at club level we train in the evenings with our matches at the weekend during the day. Can't say its something I've ever noticed as making a difference.

    The only thing I can think is that for most of the season you are training under artificial lights whereas your game would be in sunlight. Also it tends to be windier during the day then at night time. So you can't recreate a high ball kicked into the sun on a windy day.

    Bizarrely when you think about it most amateurs train at night but play during the day whereas most professionals train during the day but play at night!
