I coach a small team of Level 4-5 (one L6), ages 6-13. I've searched the forum for some guidance on the duration and structure of conditioning... Found lots of great new conditioning ideas and program suggestions, but didn't quite get these questions answered...
How much conditioning per practice is enough, without being too much?
Do you prefer to do event-specific conditioning with each rotation, or all together in a block of time?... or a little of both?... or differently on different days for variety?
Best to do conditioning early in the practice, or at the end?
We've been doing a lot of circuits. I was reminded of the "pyramid" approach and a few other ideas I have known (done!) but forgot about! I just want to make sure they are getting enough. At the moment, I don't think they are, but I don't want to over-do it either.
Thanks in advance!!
