If your team can't win your league
If your team is not in danger of demotion
Then surely you must be training players
If you are not you are both wasting your time and not helping your country
Need help?
mentors are available!
To some training players is Buzzerbeater's most fun

100% agree. Training is as much fun as winning Canadian championships and fighting in BBB.
Trust me on this one.

Thanks for the idea to bring it p Headless.

I want to add just one point. If you get involved in the game, like it, or if you just started, get your friends to play as well.
Friendly competition just adds more fun, makes community more alive.
Lets get Canadian BB back to its place, one of the most fun community in the world.

Sure.... If that is why people are playing or what they are interested in.

There isn't much incentive if all you are going to get is someone telling you how bad of a job you are doing or why can't they just get someone on the u21 team and make sure there game shape is optimal regardless of how there own club team is structured.

If you want my advice (or don't because I am going to give it to you anyway).

Make the game more fun. Encourage everyone to be competitive, learn more about the game, get them to buy in to the community.
Then once you have them, make training more interesting: produce how-to tutorials for each position or each style of player.

What would Kobe or LeBron or Jordan look like in BB? Have a competition to see who can get someone as close to those guys or other skill goals.
Teach them how to train or the best way to train more than one player at a single position. (Helpful)
Teach them how to best manage their team to create a system where they build players sell them off and get better etc...
You need to be the leaders and do more than just ask for others to follow you.

Didn't ask anyone to follow me at all
Just don't understand why many teams don't train players
you sir can do whatever you see fit

How do you know many teams don't train players?

Well said. I've said it before, but will reiterate it... I think the effort of managers in general and of U21 should be on making the game fun for new users and supporting them, and not necessarily trying for short term gains.

Which is why everyone should take a crack at training
I started by saying if you are not faced with relegation or promotion
training is the furthest from short term gains
its fun and your team gets better all season long
your trainees will always be better than their salaries
