Looking for some tips and just how you went about or what your DD's team schedule like?
What I'm looking for was an in tournament weekly practice schedule season. I know in winter we have one schedule and during HS there is a TB break. Might be hard to describe but here are a few examples.
Team A.) Practiced on Sunday for 3 hours (unless still playing in the tourney) did minor fielding work then did hitting practice. An "A" level team but not really successful. Mon and Wed league play 3 games in total(which is a level above rec but still allows for live hitting and pitching). Warm ups pre-game minor only throwing and 6 -8 pitches of soft toss.
Team B.) Played tournaments (every weekend it was eligible) 9 in total. Played tournament. Coaches meet on Monday for an hour to discuss areas of need and work. Tues and Wed practices devoted to those discussions and running system plays. Video work for those players in need. Warm ups pre-game stretches, running, throwing, long toss and hitting wiffle balls then soft toss.
Team C.) Tournament play set up and geared toward points for national or inventional tournaments. Practice time is 3 to 4 days a week depending on the start of the next tournament. Coaching staff is taping and analyzing players for improvement. Elite level play looking to improve players or help players play at the next level. No spot is held or guaranteed for the next season.
Where did your team fall?
What was your week like?
What steps did the coaches make to adjust for soft spots or weaknesses?
How was warm up prior to games?
What was your schedule like?
What level did you play? age?
What would you like to see your DD's team coaching staff/what would you like to do better for the next year?
Thanks!
