*POLL~12u team~ What do you think about mandatory...

She said every day. Yours hit 3 days a week. That's great. Mine do 4. But forcing it to be every day? Nope, we'd leave the team.

She said *workout* every day and I am assuming that means non-practice days so maybe 5 days a week? Hit 3 times a week, do wall ball twice a week and agility work once or twice a week..Is that really that much?? I am dead serious about the stupid cellphone thing..get them off it for 30 minutes to 60 minutes and have them move around some...

Being forced to turn in videos of DAILY workouts?

Nope, buh bye.

I am assuming this was in response to me (and you just momentarily forgot how to quote...) so I will respond.

I don't necessarily agree with the person forcing them but don't act like doing some sort of workout everyday is a huge deal...

We practice 6 days a week on something. 1 day a week to heal the body and be a kid. Hang with friends, sleep in whatever. If thats not enough dedication I'd be gone.

(Daily, on own time =

non team practice/game days)

The problem is that 90% of "being a kid" nowadays means being glued to a stupid cellphone..

Way to take the fun out of the game Coach.

For others its
Way to make the team more fun Coach.

Said
Daily= Non team practice or game days.

If I was a coach I wouldn't do mandatory and PT would be based upon performance. If I had Bo Jackson on my team and he only needed to hit once a week to be the best player in the State I sure as heck am not going to sit him..

There is a 12u TB team here that does this exact thing. The parents seem to be okay with it but I've never really understood why baseball and softball players would need to be able to complete an Ironman...

Maybe its a rec team where no one does extra work. I agree with you. If your DD is on a serious team they are working 4 to 7 times a week in addition to practice. adding another 30 mins a day is way to much.
