[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question: If a coach is listed as the first and second coach for the same age group, will they combine the practice and then each player will not get much attention. Or are the teams guaranteed their own individual team practice.[/quote]

I was wondering the same thing the other day when I saw a coach had the second team of two consecutive age groups (e.g., U13 and U14 boys second teams). Will that coach hold separate practices for each team or try and get away with combining them? [/quote]

Age groups usually practice at different times, so those should be separate practices. The same coach for the first and second team of the same age group is weird though. I would assume those practice at the same time and that those practices will be combined. May not be a bad thing for the second team but that doesn’t really benefit the first team. [/quote]

In one of the age groups, the head coach has a dd who will be playing on one of the teams (he is coaching first and second team in the same age group). There is no benefit in this situation to the first team if they are combined with the second team (practicing against weaker players is not useful). And, of course, all the issues with Parent Coaches.[/quote]

This situation would make my alarm bells go off. How can one coach cover two teams' games when they play in separate leagues (NCSL and pre- ECNL?)? There will for sure be conflicts and the coach would opt for his own kid's team games in case of conflict, right? But, I would want to make sure my kid was not on the Coach's Kid Team because everyone knows what a disaster that always is. And I would want it in writing From Valor hat the two teams will be having completely separate team-only practices. There is a huge drop off at Valor from first to second teams even when their first teams are weak.

Even then it would only be my choice if my kid didn't make any other team. Sounds very messy.[/quote]
