I’m happy to say that my team has rebounded from a 1-2 start. We have went 2-0 since.

I’ve made adjustments as a coach and my players have been wonderful at continuing to work and grow. 2nd half of the season begins January 3rd..

I will use the rest of December to relax and regroup. It has been a long and exhausting year hosting tournaments, camps and now coaching.

Getting back into coaching has been an adjustment for me. The evening practices has been the biggest adjustment. Plus the mental fatigue. I’ve been practicing since the last week of October and last week was our first week of games with 3. Our current record is 1-2.

We won our first game 24-9. Lost second and third games 15-14 and 30-19. I have to be honest. I needed all three of the games-wins and loses. The win showed me that my players can implement what we go over. And my loses showed me that my players can implement what we go over. LOL!!!

I did not know what to expect out of 6th graders. I did not know if teams would press, play zone or play man-to-man. Well the game we won- the team did not press and played zone. The games we lost the teams did press and played man-to-man.

Guess what I had been working on for the first month of practice?? Offense against a zone defense.. Guess what I’ve been working on for the past week and a half?? LOL!!!
