It's a problem

I'm already counting the days until next season.

What do y'all do to fill your time before next season?  :dunno:

You know, looking at some of your and Bones pictures...that's not a bad idea at all. Pretty incredible stuff

I shoot archery a lot. Sporting clays, skeet, trap. Rifles and handguns also. Camp, fish, hike and scout. Never home. No time to think about how long it is till the next season.

Volunteer to help with your local Mule Deer Foundation or RMEF chapter.  Banquet season is quickly approaching, and they (we) need HELP!  Plus, it's time well spent to promote conservation.

Coaching soccer starts next week and goes 5-6 days a week through December.  Not a lot of time to think about hunting, it just kind of shows up.

Where do you coach? I've got JV boys at Lake Washington HS starting up soon so I'm sure that will eat up a lot of time

Volunteering's not a bad idea either. Any excuse to get in the woods is fine by me  :tup:

Shelton.  I am the head coach full time of my 7 year olds U8 team.  They've been together for 4 seasons now and will probably stay together until U19 unless someone moves or something.  I also coach strikers part time on my 12 year olds team.  I'm also on the board of directors of a club trying to get a select program in all age groups off the ground in an area that has never had a select program

Nice. Hats off to you for being able to coach that age group. I coached Jr high boys for two years and couldn't take it any more haha

I can't stand the kids on that U13 team.  I didn't start helping with the team until last year.  They've never been taught how to play the game at all and with the exception of about 3 kids, are only there for screw off time anymore.  They used to be the top team in the area but have been getting destroyed because they were never on the same learning arc as the other teams who got proper coaching and are now so far behind the curve, they seem like they've lost interest.

I decided that I wasn't going to let that happen with my youngest.  When he started playing as a 6 year old last year, I was his coach.  I hand selected 10 other kids from that league and put them all together and we've been together since.  They can be taught properly from an early age, not fall behind and lose interest, and maybe stand a chance to go somewhere with the sport.  They will have 1 consistant coach to look to for guidance instead of a different person every season.  I also have my "E" license and will be getting my "D" license later this year and "C" license next year so they will have some proper structure to learn in.

Most of the jr high kids were there because of their parents, aka zero interest whatsoever.  :bash:

Hopefully you can keep your u8's together. Have friends to this day, that I made playing club soccer.

I think the big problem with these kids is they've never had one consistant coach to see as an authority figure.  Coaches for them coach a season and then they're gone.  Hopefully with keeping these 8 year olds together under me, I won't have the disciplinary problems I have with the older kids
