Do you think coaches should make special accomodations for their athletes who play multiple sports? So many times where I lived kids wouldn't show up to practice, but yet still play over the one's who worked the hardest. I don't feel that this is fair. What do you think? |

I wouldn't make special accomodations. I would just realizes that they play multiple sports, and its hard for them to be at practice as much. As far as playing time I would play to win. If its in the office season that where rewarding players for going to open gyms comes in. As far as the the regular season goes I play the best that you have. If they work so hard they should make the decision easier for you, and they should be one of the top players for putting in the extra time. |

I think you have to take into account that your athletes who play multiple sports may not be in your practice, but they will be practicing for their other sports. Hopefully when they are practicing there will be some benefit to them as an athlete, even if this is just at a cardiovascular level. I understand it is very difficult to have players missing your practices but especially at a younger level I feel it is important to try and accommodate your players. With this being said you must make sure that your players understand the commitment they made to your team and they must know that their presence is important to not only them becoming better, but their team becoming better as a whole. |
