New Coach

[tjbettin]

Hello Everyone! I recently just graduated from college and just got a job as a high school JV coach! I have my first open gym this upcoming Monday. Any advice or suggestions on how to run my first practice is greatly appreciated !

Hi welcome to the boards. When you're out of the newbie period post this in the high school forum. You more likely to get responses. There is also a coaches only section that will be helpful.

Hi @tjbettin
Just wanted to check in to find out how your open gym went? How did you end up organizing your session?

It's been going really well! the biggest issue I've had is that no jv flyers are coming to these open gyms. I have about 20 girls show up every week and maybe only 1 flyer comes! :( it makes it super difficult to do anything. I'm hoping that I'll get a lot more the week of tryouts

Hi @tjbettin
How do you select your flyers? When are your tryouts? In my experience new people always seem to show up at tryouts.
