Who's football team is in the playoffs still? How much will it effect the first day or even first week? We're division 6 and play Friday night, because of work I won't be able to start practice until 4:30 at the earliest so I moved our first day to Saturday morning so it won't interfere with anyone who wants to go to the game. That and I have a good relationship with the football coach and he's going to send the guys who wrestle down to the wrestling room to check in with me during their morning workout.

This is my first time as a head coach having to make this adjustment, unless I get some new bodies that just show up the first day I'll only have 5-8 guys out the first week. If I can get 10 out before the football players come in that'll be a good year.

So, who else is having the same issue I am?

Believe me I do, outside of the quarterback a lot of his better players are wrestlers or have wrestling experience so he knows the benefits.

Plus, like I pointed out in the first post I don't get to school until 4:30 so he does the running/lifting program for me, that way I only have to focus on the wrestling portion. So when I get those kids that say they just want to "get bigger for football" or lift with the football team I tell them they can because the football coach does the conditioning for me. It's worked on only a few kids but when I throw that at them the truth comes out that they just want to be lazy.

Affected.

Thanks for contributing to the discussion.

Who's first day of practice will be affected by the football playoffs?

They will have an effect on mine.

Is that better?
