Handouts from meeting:
Practice and Field AssignmentsField assignments. Please let us know if you need to change your day or place. No More BlowoutsLopsided games are not beneficial for either team. Here are tips to avoid blowouts.Recruiting Subs1) You may recruit enough (same age or possibly one year younger) subs to field a full team plus one sub. For U08 and under, we really encourage having at least one substitute so kids who need it can take a short breather during the game.2) All kids on your roster must play first. No rostered player sits out the start of the game while a sub plays. Subs are to be primarily used for providing rest to rostered players. 3) Try to get different sub players for each weekend, if possible. Also, use common sense when bring a substitute player on. The idea here is to recruit enough subs to play, not to bring on ringers from other teams (although that might be tempting!) 4) In absence of enough players on either team to play at the usual squad size, by coaches agreement, teams can play an equal number of lesser players or even lend a player to make things even. 5) Be sure to bring enough pennies so that it's clear who is on your team! |
