'''LYS Best __Practice__ Habits'''

 * Set Expectations Early in practice
  * Practice is what we (coaches) make it. Practice is a trained environment, and if the kids are never trained to be respectful and listen, they never will
  * No talking while coaches are talking
  * If you cant be quiet, move away from your friend
  * EYE CONTACT = Listening
 * No Lines over 2/3 players
 * No Laps for warm up.
  * Soccer requires a dynamic warm up
 * Incorporate FreePlay into your practices
 * NO Profanity (if coach hears  it, pull the player and sit them for a handful of minutes)
 * Have assistant coaches help
  * Lead water breaks
  * Set Field
  * Offer roles (Emotional Coach, Motivation Coach)
  * Give them parts to try and coach in practice
 * Keep all water bottles together and close to the field
 * Utilize time before and after the practice
  * Set field up if possible prior to session
   * If not possible, have kids juggle in a safe area
   * Start warm ups on side of field
   * Dribble around the track
 * Make sure water breaks are short and not too long (2 min max)
  * Speak to the kids during the water break
  * What will be done next, what’s expected
 * End practice on time
  * Parents and players appreciate this, as well as the loved ones at our home!
