[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RL games are back to back to back on Saturdays and against the same club typically at the same location. So usually you can make all the games. Not saying it is optimal but it is doable. [/quote]

Super easy as this person stated. You are at the field for 8 hours coaching back to back. Many coaches have 3 teams so having 4 isn't the end of the world[/quote]

Yes, RL league games are back-to-back but you know what's not?  Tournaments and showcases, playoffs, etc.[/quote]

You know what you can do for tournaments and all coaches do it... You let the tournament organizers knows you coach more than 1 team and they make your schedule so that your teams either play at the same park or at times where you can make it to other fields for times. It's a crazy thing called planning and scheduling. It happens a lot in all tournaments.[/quote]

They'll only do it for 2 teams and they won't do it if your teams aren't playing in the same tournaments.

This specific coach that is being discussed just went to Tampa with one of his teams that he stacked with guest players and left another team behind with not enough players to play in the RL Final Four which that team ended up losing to a team that hasn't beaten them for years.  So, while you can try to justify that it's not a big deal to have four teams to coach all you want, there is such a thing as stretching yourself too thin with coaching too many teams and eventually having to make decisions about which team(s)  you're going to prioritize and the at least one team WILL suffer for it at some point.

To be fair, that could have happened even if that coach only had two teams. And that coach’s son also went to Tampa so that may be why he prioritized it.[/quote]

This was just one of MANY examples of this coach prioritizing one team over another and being stretched too thin.  [/quote]
