With many local leagues offering a "practice-only" season starting soon (which is awesome!), I thought a quick blog with some advice on how to run a great practice could be helpful for parents who will find themselves trying to keep their squad's skills sharp and motivation high, but without games to look forward to or …
I've never really been one for waiting for the calendar to flip - if there's something I want to commit to doing, I usually just jump right in no matter what month it is.
