We are small school (450 enrollment).
Looking to attempt a 2 platoon/1.5 platoon system for next year.
We expect about 55 players 9-12 and need to field freshman and jv teams.
Anyone done this?
What do practices look like?
Other advice?

Drop the freshman and JV team and do varsity only.

I don't like the idea of platooning freshmen players, because you never know how they will develop. But, I'm assuming with your listed numbers you may not have separate frosh and soph teams? It depends on how many varsity aged/ready players you have to do it.

We will keep the 18 or so freshman players separate from all varsity activities...
But we can use them to help with numbers at the JV level.
We will need all freshmen to play two positions.

So you have about 37 players soph through senior? If so, you can platoon if you don't have huge talent margins. Would you have a select group (say maybe your top five varsity athletes) practice two positions as well?

That would be the goal...
We've also thought about having a 10 minute "2nd position" period everyday to keep all kids in the loop in case of injury or large drop in talent.
I have other questions regarding practice set up and organization.
What does a small school platooned practice look like?
Does anyone have practice schedules from this scenario?
