Subject: First practice with team after coach has been let go

Hi Tom - other coaches
I have just been hired to replace a coach with a 2001 spring team . Not sure what to do in first practice ? Haven't even seen them play . I would assume i should establish DZ positioning . SAGS for sure . Unfamiliar situation ??

SMAC, dzone is important no matter what level.

I suggest you play lots of situations in games to see what they are like and give you an idea where to start.

Good luck.

Just leaving to drive my 10 year old gradnson to his practice.
