This is my first year back coaching after taking some time
off to further my education. During one of the periods, I
am in charge of the off-season. There is no kind of
structure as far as what should be done during this off-
season time. The other coaches are off working with this
season's athletes, so it's pretty much me and 60 kids. Some
of the times one other coach will come help me. I was
thinking of having two days of conditioning, two days of
skills for the next season's sport and one day of playing a
different sport, that they aren't offered. (The kids told
me that they had "fun friday" last year. I figured this
meant that they played different sports/activities. Found
out later, that the coach just had them walk around the
track and talk with their friends for the period, or let
them play tag, which most of them didn't do.)

I am desperately in need of ideas for a structured and
organized off-season program. I am open to any and all
ideas! I personally would love to kick about half of the
off-season girls out of the class because they are so lazy
and have attitude. But I realize that they are that way
because they weren't disciplined last year as to how the
program is run. Help!
