Conditioning is an essential part of practice, not only for the advancement of your athletes, but also for their safety. An athlete in good condition is less likely to be injured than one who is out of shape. Practices should focus on skills and learning with emphasis on safety and proper techniques. Make sure that everyone has good form and knowledge before hitting/scrimmaging/stunting. In case of any injury follow prescribed routine and maintain good communication with players, parents, and FYFL. Refrain from using abusive and profane language. Use age appropriate skill sets.
