The U12 and U13 will likely have some shared practices once a week, just like U14 and U15. That’s how both KL and SC have done it with age adjacent teams. The players train in groups based on ability/level of development.

Imagine a tournament where he has six games in a day, the logistics alone tell me that it’s a bad idea. How will his practices work? I’d be pissed if my kid had to practice with girls two years younger. This feels like a mistake by the leadership. I’ve never seen one coach have more than two tops teams at BSC.

He doesn't have 3 teams practicing at the same time asshat.

Ah, great. How will he manage three teams practicing three times a week?

He’s Harry Potter…magic.

Anyone who actually knows Harry Potter would say he’s Hermione Granger with a time turner…

Ok, two teams practicing once a week together is fine. But that still leaves seven other practices in the week that still need to be accounted for? Never seen one coach with 3 teams. And two teams on one field at the BSC facility is far from ideal, 24+ girls on a tiny space. Maybe I am missing something, just feels poorly conceived from the get-go.

If you don’t know why KL is coaching three top teams or questioning how he intends to run his practices and tournaments, you should probably go somewhere else. It’s this ignorant judgement and negativity that ruins it for everybody.

Just calling people ignorant doesn’t answer the PP’s legitimate question about training scheduling? I don’t know KL, not bashing or defending. But, your answer is the typical BSC answer - we don’t have to explain or justify our decisions, you can always go somewhere else.

Why would you assume it's the indoor practice that's shared time?

Back to back times should solve it, no?

Not all year but our team was at the facility from early Nov until April. Not one outdoor practice for essentially five months.

What is the legitimate question? They have not seen the schedule for next year but already deemed it "poorly conceived from the get-go".

Proof of ignorance and negativity:
1. Ok, two teams practicing once a week together is fine. But that still leaves seven other practices in the week that still need to be accounted for?
2. Never seen one coach with 3 teams.
3. And two teams on one field at the BSC facility is far from ideal, 24+ girls on a tiny space.

See if you can ask an actual question. I'm not going to give you more info unless you drop the whining.

Of course it does but then there would be nothing to complain about on here before the season has even started.

4:30 is probably the earliest start time and that’s tough for a lot of families. 4:30-6, 6-7:30, 7:30-9? How does that work well? I wouldn’t want a 12 year old out that late. And that’s assuming you even have light to be outside that late or you’re always at the facility.

So they combine practice and have 2 teams with one coach, to save themselves time?

Nice try on the negativity again, can’t help it, huh?

No, the combined practices are not all the time and are not for the purpose of saving time. KL and SC often offer additional sessions on non-game weekends in addition to regularly scheduled practices to keep the players form or work on specific things the team needs. You should not doubt their commitment to their work or the amount of time they give their players.

Ok. Two questions:

You’re at the Jeff Cup and on Saturday there are six games amongst the three teams. Who coaches those games?

What does the practice schedule for a week look with three teams and nine practices?

Other coaches will likely help coach at that event if needed. Before you freak out, tournaments like Jeff cup are at the bottom of the totem pole for BSC ECNL teams and not every game is as critical to have KL there.

You don’t have to have all three teams practice on the same days. They will likely stagger some of the days, that’s how they are currently.
