Long time since I've posted on here... I've missed you guys!
Anyway, my two cents on this
Keep the games at 30mins e/w for a couple of reasons which have been highlighted by some of you guys here:
1) Scheduling problems with getting the kids out of class earlier to make games.
2) The most important factor in this in my opinion is that we take care of the KIDS at JV level and do everything that we can to prepare them for varsity competition, whilst protecting their still developing bodies from any unneccesary over-exertion. I appreciate that you might say "ten extra minutes will hardly kill them"... but will it be of any real benefit to them either?
3) If preparing the players for the mental aspects of overtime etc, then two sets of 5 minutes should be sufficient. It's DEVELOPMENTAL at JV level.
