Practice Time

2 HOURS MAX. After that the concentration and fatigue factors combine for a downhill spiral. Killing kids during two-a days is old hat. I would much rather have a good solid 2 hour practice, some class room, and call it a day PROVIDED YOUR KIDS HAVE WORKED ALL SUMMER AND ARE IN GOOD PHYSICAL SHAPE. WHEN DON SHULA HAD THE DOLPHINS, THEY WERE 75% CLASS ROOM, 25% ON FIELD PRACTICE. Of course, they work mainly on game planning, etc. not having to teach technique at that level. Just my way.
I will extend practice if they are really working hard and still have full concentration, but that usually declines drastically at the 2 hour limit.
