After one season of coaching middle school at the YMCA to a 4-4 record, I've been recruited to coach in the Game Time Gym league in town. Since launching Hidden Blog, I've lived by the general rule that something new is something bloggable and therefore something good. Still, experience has taught me to have no shame in asking an avalanche of questions before committing to something, especially something that could last six months.
1. How often/long are the practices? Would it be difficult to practice as many as two, 2-hour practices per week?
So far practices have been scheduled for Monday and Wednesdays from 7:00 to 8:30pm.
2. How long is the drive to Tri-Valley from, say, Corporate? Is there a fee for the gym?
10 minutes or so from Corporate…the fee for the gym is split by the parents.
3. What fund raising is involved?
none
4. When you say three years, are you saying this same group of boys has been together for three years? Or that you've been coaching 5th grade for three years?
I've coached the same group of boys through 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades….
5. I have an assistant (at least from December - March, maybe more). Any issues there?
Nope, no problem at all…I can help only if you need me….my twin boys will be on the team.
6. What if any other duties would be involved besides showing up at practices/games with plans in hand? A pre-season captain's meeting? Reffing? Anything else?
There will be a coaches meeting held at Game Time, but other than that, it's the practices and games (Saturdays)
7. Do they keep score?
Yes, with a tournament at the end...
