If you have had a son and a daughter go thru the program..you can see the difference..Practices can be difficult if the player is playing club ball..I feel that the different age groups should set practices up together so when eight show up from each team..You have a squad to practice with..On the girls side..if only eight can attend we just cancel practice for a month..I think players can get alot out a short numbered practice..a lot more touches on the ball..less rest time and you can show more attention to detail..
