Rec. Week is mandatory for all coaches and teams. This training is specifically designed to provide guidance and direction from the competitive coaching staff to the recreational coaches, based on Lightning’s philosophy of player development. It is a valuable coaching resource for our recreational coaches. Rec. Week is the first official week of practices for teams. Coaches should come prepared with a lesson plan, cones, balls and bibs for each practice, using coaching techniques and drills included in the Lightning Coaching Curriculum.
