-
You should expect to dedicate only about 3 hours a week. One and a half hours for practice and one and a half hours for games.
-
At least two weeks before practices start, contact your players. Introduce yourself and explain to your parents when and where practices will be held. Also make the parents aware of what the children should bring to practices and games. If you have any other expectations you should make them clear at this point.
-
Check your team schedule and make sure your team parents know how to check it. Look for situations where your team and the opposing team will be wearing the same color. If any of those situations occur, and your team is the home team, let the parents know what color your team will be wearing that day instead of their regular uniforms.
-
If you prefer, ask one of the team parents to volunteer as the "team coordinator/liaison" for specific duties during the season to ensure smooth communication.
-
Attend coaches’ clinics offered by WYSC during the season.
-
Hold one practice each week and attend up to 8 games on Saturdays throughout the season. Coach your team to the best of your ability, calling on your reserves of knowledge and patience. Make practices fun and productive but don’t forget your sense of humor!
-
Be a good role model by emphasizing teamwork and sportsmanship
