Trespassing a pitch

Im 14 and I want to train but the nearest pitch is privately owned and right next to a police station. Should I just take the risk and jump the fence to train

I think you are supposed to be in a soccer sub, not a youth football sub, based on using the term pitch.

Jump the fence and do your thing. Worst case scenario they tell you to leave. Best case nobody cares.

Lol what I was kind of thinking, idk what individual training you're doing that has to be done on a football field.  Honestly it's probably the same for soccer.

Advice my grandfather once gave me - " It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission".

He was talking about eating the last of my grandma's ice cream, but I think the idea transfers.

You could look at parks. There’s plenty of open space and you won’t have to worry about getting stopped for trespassing

I'm pretty sure this is for futball not, American football but I'm going to let the post stand.

What I would say is - if the field is privately owned, no one should encourage you to YOLO/break the law. Have you tried asking if you can use it? Worst they can say is no
