For all the HS coaches out there, what's your daily practice attendance percentage look like?
I have the expectation that players show up every day (emergencies/academics are exceptions). That, of course, is futile. In reality, 85-90% attendance is what I look for (this year, that means 24+ out of 28). We've met that goal in 3/6 practices this year, though big band and robotics competitions hurt our numbers last week. Right now only 11 of 28 have had full practice attendance every day, but that does include plenty of legitimate reasons for missing/being late/leaving early.
So, what is your daily attendance like? Not looking for a discussion on what are good reasons to miss. Just wondering if I should be happy with the overall team attendance or if I need to give some reminders about showing up every day.
