Game management strategies – in town  

Discussion centered on making the PW through U8 age groups focus less on game competitions and become more skills based.

The idea is that on Saturday’s each age group would have an instructional session planned out by the age coordinators and lead by 3-4 coaches.  This would insure that all players are receiving equal level of learning on the same skills each week, which would be beneficial as the players progress though the system so that they would all have the same basic skills when they reach the travel league.   Each player would be issued a reversible penny at the start of the season and in the last 15-20 minutes of each session the players would be broken out into groups to scrimmage.

This would be a phased in approach starting with PW’s and progressing each season until all in town players are participating in this instructional league.

This topic will be further discussed in the April meeting

 

Meeting adjourned at 9:40 PM
