If a kid misses a practice, then they sit out the next game.
Make a habit of playing kids that don't show up to practice and you'll deal with resentment issues that will have a significant negative impact on a "team" sport.
It's a pretty simple policy ... no practice = no play.
Seems easy enough for you to follow. Glad it is working for you. I'm equally glad that our local HS coach takes a little wider view of things with his team.
