Sideline Cover - the quick way

I always brought chairs or a bench for my substitution players to sit on as they waited on the sidelines; but setting up a tent and moving it from game to game wasn't ideal. We usually set up a tent for a base camp, but used a large umbrella (6 to 8 feet) for sidelines.

The quickest and easiest way I found to set up an umbrella was using a lawn anchor found at theearthworm.com. It takes about 20 seconds to set up or take down. I mention it because teams often asked me where I got my umbrella holders.

Thank you for setting up this blog. I am coaching a U-10 girls team. We have never played 3v3 and I have been trying to develop some strategies and drills. Great stuff.
