I'm not coaching this year - couldn't get my ducklings in a row. But same situation last year. We went. We pulled together during the last weeks and all the work and busyness united them and made them a team. We didn't win, but we had a great time that day!

I can't seem to get the kids together for more than about 90 min a week. Everyone has something at some other time. Ideally, we'd add a couple 3 hour weekend meetings to get us back on some semblance of a track, but I think I could only get about 3 team members for that.

Especially advice from someone who's been in this position before: inexperienced coach, inexperienced team, hardly any time left.
