Night off
Wednesdays are dead nights around here. I'm actually home and not running to some far-flung gym to work another game.
Strange feeling. I'm starting to wonder if I'll be happy working 60% of my current schedule next season. Anyone else live in a place where a certain night of the week is pretty much always a night off? |
I don't have a Wednesday game at all in January or February. I think I had one Wednesday game in December, and it was for 7th or 8th graders.
No games on Sundays either, unless I wanted to do travel/wreck ball (which I haven't this season). If we had a few more weather-related postponements, my Wednesday nights would be filled up for sure. But so far we haven't had any bad weather to speak of. Our only major snowstorm of the year happened on a Sunday. |
Thursdays have been my nights off, but due to (is at least to me) strange school schedule, there have been no games since last Friday (finals I think). My next one is this Friday...not used to a full week off at this point in the season.

I work pretty much 5 or 6 days a week. I like working a lot, I think it helps me stay on top on my game.
I love me family and I miss them when I travel too far, but over all that is rare. We have 4 schools that are 40 to 60 miles away. We have 8 that are close by. When you figure, boys/girls/JV/Varsity. there are a lot of games to cover. We also do Middle school, but I don't get a lot of those. |

Wednesday is actually one of our busiest nights. If the boys are home, girls are away and vice versa. That being said, I still somehow managed to have Weds off :D

Wednesday is the off night here. I think some schools play freshman games, but there are rarely varsity games on Wednesdays. My last game of the season is on a Wednesday though. Other than Sundays, I could work every night of the week, which I used to do. Got tired of being gone five nights a week though, so I work at least three, and sometimes four nights now. It's a good balance. We have schools 75-100 miles away, so if you get a week with a couple of longer trips it starts to wear on you.

As a general rule I only work 3 days a week. I tend to work Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. And Tuesdays and Saturdays can be often college games. Of course I can work an occasional Wednesday or Thursday for college, but not always. So I am off many days during the season unless something unusual is taking place like I had two games on Monday because of the holiday. I could not see doing that every week.
Peace |
