The program will focus on small-sided, non-contact, games with instruction mixed in.
Coaches will break players into teams at each meeting working to mix and match abilities. Only two-thirds of a team’s players are allowed on offense/in the offensive end at one time. For example, if playing 6 v6, only 4 players may be on offense at any one time.
