We go 3:00pm-5:00pm on the field, 45 minute break for food and water and 45 minute chalk talk or team meeting in air conditioned room, then back on the field from 6:30pm-8:30pm. We have found one of the added benefits is they have time to get a good breakfast and decent lunch before they come to practice. They also don't have time to get too stiff and sore like they used to do when we went early morning and late afternoon. It is a long day for the coaches when we have those teacher meetings, but that does make administration happy, which can pay off later. We've done it this way for many years and like it a lot.

I agree with Brophy that the self-esteem movement and trophy mentality has done permanent damage to us as a culture. The No Dodge Ball, No Musical Chairs crowd never want to expose their kids to failure, so when they finally experience failure its lawyers and petitions and "Mommy will fix it." I was the short fat kid in elementary school and I still loved to play Dodge Ball and games like it because something was at stake. Same with board games like Candyland and Chutes and Ladders. Bad things could happen in them that weren't your fault, just like real life. Now they're probably banned. Oh well, end of rant. You may go back to your regularly scheduled program.

I think you'll find this new one will become political as well. The more money they raise, the more "input" they'll want.

Oops! Make that I can't believe no one mentioned Best of Times on the FIRST PAGE of the site! 2nd quote: "When he was a prick,Reno Hightower was the best damn quarterback in Kern County!"

I can't believe no one has mentioned "Best Of Times" with Kurt Russell and Robin Williams. We have some long road trips and I show it every year and my kids love it. I always refer to it after the last game, win or lose, and my Seniors really get emotional. Quote: "He's wearing his white shoes!"
