Kindergarten coaches will coach 30 minutes on Saturdays and supervise a 30 minutes scrimmage immediately afterwards. For grades 1st-6th you must host 1 hour long practice a week on Tuesday or Thursday evenings after 5:15pm.  Coaches are asked their preference on their day of the week & timeslot before schedules are made.
