Training,,whats that.? 2 times a week? wow . we stop training as soon as its time for our mittens.
We play friendlys every Wednesday night once it gets cold out. I find that if you make it fun you will get way more guys out in the rain and cold and it also attracts alot of the keeners who love to play. And the keeners or ballers are usually the better players.(not always though) 2 games a week is way more fun than 2 trainings a week. Especially with 5-7 guys showing up in the cold. What do you learn with 5-7 guys?
I never tell the guys if they have a game or not ( they always come expecting one)and when I feel we need to work on something I just have a session instead of a game and dont tell the guys. They are all there. Do they get pissed? I dont care cause they should be there anyways. Just so you know ,I dont pull that alot. Only when we lose to the Lions and such. LOL
Dont get me rong I do believe training is important. But training needs to either be on or off. If its on then you need real training and thats a min of 4hours 2-3 adays a week.
Cardio,Chalk talks ,meetings, basic drills, set plays. If your only going to get 2 hours once or twice a week,,,forget it and play games. use alot of subs and talk and learn as you go with everyone there. you get your cardio and can practice real game set plays and most of all ,,have fun.
What im trying to say is, if your haveing fun, Everything falls into place.
That includes Premier and down to div 3.
If a guy cant make games because of work,,it sucks but he is not the only guy or team with guys with that problem. the schedule is posted months before so ..Work it out.
Im exited for Surrey as they will be a great Premier addition. They will raise the bar in the FVSL for sure. And thats great.

Our team is a group of friends that decided to make a team, and we've moved from D3 to D1, so most of our focus has been on just playing together. Now having the taste of D1 and liking the competitiveness, it looks like we might be having a different take on next year, especially if we (the club) decide to have a Premier squad.
