Practices - In keeping with the fun spirit of our program, YPF
highly recommends only one practice per week.
- Coaches may NOT require more than 2 practices
per week.
- Little Pro practices should not be scheduled
for more than 60 minutes a practice.
- Junior Pro and Pro practices should not be
scheduled for more than 90 minutes a practice.
Playtime - Equal participation is part of YPF's
philosophy, so coaches must be able to make each player feel he or she
is an important part of the team. YPF policy requires coaches to play
any player that attends at least one practice in a week. Coaches are
asked to do their best to balance playtime as much as possible.
Coaches on Field
- Little Pro: A maximum of one
(1) offensive and one (1) defensive coach are allowed on the field

prohibited for use by coaches during practices and games.
