[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents think games matter more than practice, when it is actually the complete opposite. Practice is how kids improve. No one would suggest that performing in piano recitals improves skills better than piano practice and lessons. Focusing on weaker players at practice and giving everyone at least 50% playing time in the games is a good compromise. You sound better than 90% of rec coaches just from the fact that you are thinking about being fair and improving your players. [/quote]With rain, kids spend far more of the rec season at games than at practice. We probably only get about 1/2 of the scheduled practices due to rain and field closures, so maybe an average of 30 minutes a week? It's not much practice. Games end up being about learning on the job. They get rescheduled if rained out so they are more consistent than practices. The coach needs to be actively teaching during games too.[/quote]
