If you aren't scripting your practices, you are letting your kids down. There is nothing worse than coming to practice and having down time or fill time. As a coach you are a teacher of the game, and you have to be prepared basically with a lesson plan. Parents are paying way to much for you to come to practice and winging it. I still have plenty to learn, and I know I will probably take a bashing for veteran coaches pointing to their noggins and trying to prove their point by saying it is all up here. How do you know you are hitting all facets/situations of the game?
It doesn't need to complex. but at least some sort of preparation so there is fluency within the practice. I know some coaches get pretty intense with down to the minute by minute drills (me) but it doesn't to be that intense. Too many times I watch other teams practices, and I just shake my head as time ticks by the coaches are still trying to figure out which drill is next or Susie hitting off the machine with 10 other girls watching.
