[quote=Anonymous]I find many scrimmages to be basically babysitting, unless the coach is actively involved in the play as it goes trying to make corrections. Sure you let them have it out a bit, but there are times as a coach that you need to scream 'freeze' and point out what is going wrong in the play and what a player should be looking for at that moment. They need to see the tactics in person in more or less real time to start to resonate.

As for drills, the biggest problem I see with some drills is that X number of kids are active and 3x kids are waiting their turn. Drills need to include as many people as possible moving or observing.

The only other observation I've had here (having arrived from overseas last Fall) is the number of water / hydration breaks is frightfully low. We came a much warmer climate so we probably overcompensated (water every 10-15 minutes) but I've been to several 90 minute sessions here with only one water break despite kids showing signs of need more hydration. Maybe just my club. [/quote]
