Our games this season will be on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
While my first reaction is to be less than excited about the quick turn from Friday evening games to a Saturday morning game, this should give us a good opportunity to practice on Monday evenings, and work on shortcomings that we see in game circumstances.
The more I think about it, the more I like it.
Also, a question: So far I've tried to keep practice to between 1 hour and 1:15. Many teams seem to practice longer than we do. I know of teams that are going anywhere from 1:45 to over 2 hours. Are we cutting it too short? My recent coaching experience comes from youth hockey, where the ice time is strictly limited to 1 hour, and the coach has to be prepared to use that time usefully. I admit that I'm trying to emulate the hockey model, that seems to have a quick pace and constant involvement for each player. Does anybody have any thoughts about this? I'd like to know what people think. (Opinions here are not just limited to parents.)

I believe that we should have longer practices. We haven't had many, so it might be good to have them longer. Maybe a hour and a half i think that would be tons better.
Thanks for your comment.
The weather has been less than cooperative this week and the cold makes it tough for everybody to stay focused on the tasks at hand.
Do you think during practice that the players are staying interested and involved?
Coach Scott
