Please write in responses to the following questions. 9. Did the fair turn sports wheel help you at all this season? Would it be beneficial is to have it available again next season? - N/A for me — Very helpful for lower levels - No, I did hear of several other coaches who liked using it. - Some coaches used it and some didn't. It would be difficult when a couple kids show up late to a game after you had a wheel for 12 kids made up. You would have to transfer all the kids to a 14 person wheel. Sometimes, you have to juggle things around so you don't have a defense or offense with all beginning players. It's good to mix the talent up. - No, too many players did not want to goal tend. It might have worked if the goal tender was not on the wheel. One of the "outs" could play in goal. - Because of the age group we had this year, I did not have a need for the fair turn wheel. I do think it would be beneficial for the younger teams. - Yes! - It was ok — I prefer to set my own lineup to provide for better balance on the field. - It was great. It was one less burden to have the schedule right there. It gave the kids a fair rest while building their endurance as well. It gave them an equal opportunity at each position. As a result, I think our team was well rounded and had lots of depth. May be helpful for some — Not necessary for all. - I used Fair Turn Sport's wheel at the last game. Players were rotated faster in and out of game. It was hard to keep track of which player was playing which position. On the wheel, I had to add left, right, center to forward, midfield, and defense on the wheel. These could have already been on the wheel's field positions. 10. We have had concerns regarding MEA weekend. Should we keep the season at seven games by starting a week before labor day and skipping MEA or should we start the season at the same time and skip MEA, shortening the season by one game? Etc... Any suggestions... - Leave it as is and let coaches sort it out or start earlier w/another game(s) and let coaches sort it out. - Skip MEA weekend. It just creates way too many scheduling problems. - I vote for keeping the same schedule. Most kids were able to make the games, and in the case of my 51h grader, everyone decided to schedule a make up game for a Monday night instead of practice. It worked out great. I had 4 kids in the program this fall. 1st' 3rd' 5th, and 7th grades, so I was able to see lots of games and situations. - Leave as is. We did not have a problem as most of the players did show up. It also gives those who are home that weekend something to look - forward to and something to do. Start at the same time and skip MEA. Either one is fine. I'm fairly neutral on the MEA issue but would rather not shorten the season.
