League Growth and Structure Qs
Hi all! My league is experiencing insane growth recently. We now have with 50+ active skaters. Practices average around 40 skaters each night.
I am curious how y'all run practices with a lot of skaters. Our league currently skates 3 nights a week and everyone practices together. We have one A team, one B team and two mixed level home teams.
We have 3 coaches that coach all teams at all times with some more focus on whichever team/roster has a bout coming up.
We are looking to possibly expand to a 4th practice day, individual team practices or other possibilities to provide more focus and intention on the track while having so many skaters at one time at practice.
Questions-
What are your attendance requirements to make rosters?
Do you have specific team practices? Can skaters not on that team join(i.e. B roster skater joining A roster practice and vice versa).
Do you have mandatory off skates workouts? Weight lifting and/or cardio session? Do they count towards practice attendance?
And any general league structuring to foster all the current skaters, cohesive practices, accountability, etc.
Thank you!
