It is not a matter of numbers. It is setting an example for the younger kids to follow, if you don't practice you don't play, no matter who you are. You do have to set stipulations in this as well. i.e. if you miss on Monday you set out the first quarter, if you miss Monday and Tuesday the first half, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, the whole game possibly getting some time in the fourth quarter. You can't miss 3 out of 4 days and expect to be ready to go on Friday, especially with Thursday practice limited to walk-throughs. Set some team standards and stick by them or don't set any at all.
