Academy Spring Planning
Hold practices the same as they were scheduled in the fall. Assign two coaches to a group of players; this will help show a relationship between the players and the coaches during practice. On the weekend split the group of players and coaches and have them scrimmage other groups of players so it maintains a team feeling.
Picture Day
Have pictures taken from PW’s through U10. Pat will work out a schedule for the pictures.
Spring season begins April 14th and runs through June 9th.
