I know there was a post about the practice segment timer's but I can't find it with the search function. What have been everyone's experience with the segment timers. Are they worth the price. Is there a specific one that you would recommend?
Thanks

Whaley coaching systems will be introducing one shortly if it's not already out- very nice, easy to program and cost only about $800. He brought the prototype out for me to see this past September and the final production model in December- I'll be getting one this spring for certain.

If you believe in up tempo practice, then I think you must have on of these timers. We have one, and I will check the brand name tomorrow at school, but I think it helped us out a lot this year, and believe it or not it helped keep our practices shorter while being even more organized.

We've used a segment clock from Spectrum Corporation in Houston for many years and never had a problem. 1-800-392-5050-----In my opinion, they are well worth the money. Tried to use managers, trainers, etc. for years and the periods were consistently inconsistent.

$800 vs $12.95 for a stopwatch...

We just use our scoreboard clock. Set the period time. Hit start and when the period is over a horn goes off. We have a manager do this. We hand him a script and he keeps us on time.
We do have the luxury of having a scoreboard on our main practice field, though.

We use one. It's about 6ftx3ft. One of the best purchases we have bought lately. It costed us $2000. it keeps me on pace and it allows all of our coaches to be on the same page the whole time. We never have to yell to the other field to send certain people up.
