Re: Help!!! Unorganized off-season program!

I have tried to post my response twice before but it never
posted. But that was a few days ago when all the boards were
kind of whacky.
I can't believe your Ath. Dir. allows one coach to oversee so
many athletes. It seems like a safety issue and you should
ask for other coaches to help in the off season program.
Can the girls go to the weight room on Tues/Thurs and the boys
Mon/Wed? Then on alternate days the boys and girls could do
plyometrics, foot work, core exercises, wind sprints, etc.
Maybe Friday could be the long distance run or do the "fun"
activity day; play a game--basketball, softball, flag football.
In one school where I worked in TX the boys coaches worked
with the boys and girls coaches with the girls in off season.
There were always two working with off season for each
gender. Currently, I work in a system where the AD requires
the head coach to be with his/her off season kids even if
there are only two that are not participating in the current
sport.
