When are practices and are they planned to cover a specific subject or are they just a fun scrimmage time?
A. Practices are two nights per week, Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday from 6:00 7:30 or 7:30 9:00 (always the same two nights and time per week). Older elite level teams may practice three nights per week. Practices are pre-planned and usually designed to cover only one particular skill such as dribbling, passing, shooting, etc. This type of training has been shown to be most effective. Therefore it is extremely important that your child attends all practices in order to develop all skills necessary to be a well-rounded player.
