Would "У вас тренування у понеділок?" work here? Someone mentioned something similar in an earlier question, I believe it was "У мене тренування уранці"

It didn't accept it when I tried it, so I'll report it next time this question comes up. Thank you!
It doesn't have a direct equivalent in English. It serves the functions of in and at.
E.g. "у ванні" = in the bathroom, "у школі" = at school.
Also, since I see you're doing German as well: "у мене" is similar to the German bei mir. It can be used the same way, e.g. to mean "my place" or "your place": "Wo spielen wir heute, bei mir oder bei dir?" = "Де ми граємо сьогодні, у мене чи у тебе?"
So, literally, "У мене є кіт" = "Bei mir ist eine Katze" or "Bei mir gibt es eine Katze"
This is true!
One way to say you have/own something is also "Мені належить" (belongs to me) which is like "Mir gehört" and the cases "match".
But this "мене" is also a bit special... The actual Accusative of "я" is "менé" with the stress on the last "е", while "у мéне" has the first "е" stressed. Same with "тебé" <-> "у тéбе". Same happens with "на", "до" and so on: "на/до/від мéне" ("auf mich"). I don't know what's happening there, but it's a thing :)
