Hey Coaches,
Need some input on how to keep my guys focused till Nov 23rd which is when we play our next game, a playoff game, We are the top seed and our last game is a bye Nov 9th and we drew another bye Nov 16th and we play on Nov 23rd which means the last game we played was Nov 2nd, What kind of practice should I be having this is the first time that I am faced with this situation, Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Coaches

That first week I'd maybe do this:

Monday: Players OFF. Review upcomming game as a staff (Make sure to send staff home "early". No sense working all night. Let them get home to their families.

Tuesday: Shell Practice. Get rid of those last bumps and brusies before you make your run in the post-season.

Wednsday: Regular Practice

Thursday: Script Scrimmage. Full contact scrimmage. Go intense but quick.

Friday: players OFF or shells. Head out to a local game if you have one close by or can scout your opponet in person.

Week 2: Ready to Rock in roll for the playoffs.

The reason for the scrimmage is to create a game type tempo at practice. You may not need to scrimmage, but do some sort of competition that will get the fires going. I dont think two weeks without Games is a big deal. Two weeks without COMPETITION is a huge
