Our 92 boys trained a solid 3 months every Sunday, except for one because the coach had to be out of town, and they were at a 2 day team camp the Sunday and Monday prior to departure on Tuesday. This year it paid off with three straight wins, 12 pool game players and 7 holdovers and qualification for Nationals.

Keep in mind our players aren't playing club in the Spring, so we had Sundays open.




How do the younger age groups practice like this with club season going on? They can't. Numerous times our coach would have practice only to have 8 or 9 show up. You can't blame the others for not attending when they have a club game the same day. Then they had spring state cup - seemed like it was one thing after another - in this case what is a coach to do? Hopefully as the younger kids get older they will get a little more out of odp like the 92's have - especially at a time when they are really getting looked at.
