Be positive and organized, both with parents and the kids. Local coach, and his assistant, of local high school team are both great shots. But they expect these kids to be as good as them. They criticize rather than instruct. Half of them are not returning this year. I've watched them in action. Yes I have coached youth athlete's in a number of sports for many, many years. I've seen outstanding college athlete's fail at coaching high school sports because they expect kids to as good as they were. Doesn't always happen.
