Lech Poznan's academy has released its full training schedule for the upcoming weekend of September 4-5. The information was published on the club's official website on Thursday, detailing the times and locations for all age group sessions.
The club, which currently tops the Ekstraklasa with 13 points from five matches, places a strong emphasis on youth development. The senior team has enjoyed an excellent start to the season with four wins and one draw, scoring 10 goals and conceding just four. This success is also built on solid training foundations, evident in the academy's regular work.
Where and when do the young players train?
All sessions scheduled for this weekend will take place at the facilities on Bułgarska Street. On Friday, September 4, training will begin at 4:30 PM for the 2015 and 2016 birth years. Subsequent groups, including the younger juniors (2011-2012) and older juniors (2009-2010), have their sessions scheduled for 5:30 PM and 6:45 PM. Saturday, September 5, will be a training day for the youngest football prospects, with sessions starting from 9:00 AM.
Systematic work with youth is a key part of Lech's strategy. The current first-team squad includes several academy graduates who have progressed through all levels. The schedule is regularly updated, allowing parents and fans to follow the progress of young talents.
What does the academy's training structure look like?
Lech Poznan's academy operates based on a modern, multi-stage program tailored to different age groups. Work with the youngest focuses on general motor development and basic technical skills. As players age, increasingly advanced tactical and mental elements are introduced, preparing them for top-level play. Each group has an assigned head coach and a training staff that ensures the comprehensive development of the players.
The club invests in infrastructure, and the facilities at Bułgarska are constantly being upgraded to provide optimal year-round training conditions. This long-term approach translates into results, as seen in the successful debutants in the Ekstraklasa team.
Why is the schedule important for the club?
Maintaining a clear and regular schedule for youth activities is important for the stability of the entire system. It allows for optimal use of facilities, coordination of coaching staff, and planning of friendly matches and tournaments. For the parents of young players, the availability of this information simplifies logistics and engagement in the training process.
Lech Poznan maintains a one-point lead over Legia Warszawa at the top of the standings, and continuity in the academy's work is one of the pillars of this good form. The next test for the first team awaits on December 17, when Lech travels to face Wisla Plock, currently 16th in the league. Details of this and other upcoming matches can be found in the fixtures calendar.
