What are you guys doing to combat losing practice time to lightning? I've seen weeks when you could only get 1-2 days of on field instruction. What if you don't have access to an indoor facility? I've seen some coaches move practice to 5 AM or later in the evening from say 6-8 PM. Just looking for some ideas.

We will move inside to our 2nd gym and do walkthroughs. Everything is scripted so we just right down the script. If we're not able to use the gym we'll go to the cafeteria. No cafeteria, then the media center. Our coach has a saying, " We may not beat the New England Patriots in a game but we can definitely beat them in a walkthrough."

It's all about having back-up plans.
We'll try to go to film and wait out the rain, go to the gym/cafeteria, or the wrestling room. If we get out late, we typically cut out parts of practice so parents aren't waiting too long.
We tried moving all practices to around 6 pm, but a lot of our players have jobs because they need to help out at home, so we had to stop that because we didn't want kids to have to choose between ball or helping pay bills.

What if none of the above are available (what you mentioned, media center, gym, wrestling room etc.)? What about practicing before school as I mentioned?

Duece Are you talking in-season, off-season, or both? The inclement weather seems to fall in the late afternoon, around 5-7ish, or at least it does here on the West coast. In the case of weather and that G*#@^#*$MN ThorGuard, we'll do mat drill in the weight room for conditioning, make an extended lifting session, or break up into positions and put them on the white board. The weather usually doesn't last THAT long, definitely not long enough to rearrange the practice schedule and transportation, especially since our school starts at 7:20, and 90% of our team rides a bus |

Last season we got pretty good at 5:45 am practices. Because of off campus work schedules we were not able to get every coach there so it ended up being a lot of team sessions but we were still able to hit each other. Early morning practice was after exhausting the gym/cafeteria/ locker room walk throughs.
