WINTER TRAINING GUIDELINES

  • Temperature requirement (Outdoor Training Only)! - In order for outdoor training to occur during the winter, the temperature must be greater than 32°F (or 0°C) but at least 38°F (or 3-4°C).

  • Length of training (Outdoor Training Only)! - During the winter, we may choose to decline requests for outdoor training longer than an (1) hour (unless the temperature is at least 50°F (or 10°C)) mainly because the longer we are outside, the more susceptible we become to colds and other infections.

  • Indoor training! - Indoor facilities are available to rent throughout the Cincinnati area. However, winter is considered “busy season” for most of them. As such, it may not be easy to find one to rent at a reasonable cost. However, because we are committed to offering excellent services to all who choose to work with us, FAITH Goalkeeping has established an exclusive partnership with Fulcrum Fives to offer you a great indoor training facility at no cost to you!

  • Training times! - During the winter months, training times may vary. Even if booked and confirmed, sessions may be cancelled or delayed if weather conditions are poor. Outdoor training must take place before 6pm (due to the sun going down earlier and the temperature significantly dropping around that time). If there are no available times on the calendar, please contact us (via Text Message, Email or Phone Call).

  • Weather Conditions (Outdoor Training Only)! - Outdoor training will not take place if any of the following conditions are met:

    • The field is entirely covered in snow.

    • We are in a Level 2 or 3 Snow Emergency.

    • The temperature requirements is not met (see Guideline #1 above).

    • The forecast shows a high chance of rain and/or a snow storm prior to, during or after the session.

    • It rains/snows during or rained/snowed at least 1-2 hours prior to the session (despite the temperature requirements being met).

    These conditions are by no means exhaustive but attempt to provide a framework for weather conditions which would prevent us to do outdoor training during the winter.

  • Weather Conditions (Indoor Training Only)! - Indoor training will not take place if weather conditions are horrible and/or if the roads are not cleared or are deemed to be dangerous to drive in. This includes before (e.g., Snow storm occurred or is expected before training) or after training (e.g., Snow storm is expected during the training).

  • Cancellations! - If cancellation is deemed necessary (regardless of the reason), you will receive a text or call notifying you ahead of time to ensure that no unnecessary trips are made.

Be sure to take a look at our Training Bundles before booking training sessions.
