I can say from my own experience of splitting into two teams that it worked out OK
just having practices at the same time/place. It was a little hectic and crazy, but the
drain on my schedule was not the factor of two like it might have been if I’d tried to run
them as separate teams with separate practices. It was also beneficial to the kids since
being in the same room, they were able to communicate with each other and share ideas.
I also found it easier to get parents to volunteer to help out during a practice than to
commit to being a coach. In fact, I’d have them fill out a volunteer schedule during
the meeting to make sure I had 1 or 2 other parents there for every practice.
