[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it depends on the age of the kids -- for the Stoddert league, for kindergarten, being a 'co-coach' if there's already one 'licensed' coach (who went to a 3 hour class) - it's mostly about substituting kids in during a half hour, half field game & just being enthusiastic.  And the only practice at that age is the first 1/2 hour of the hour designated for games.  Basically making sure kids get turns (some sideline parents worry if their kids are getting playing time but at that age, they need breaks), trying to cajole reluctant players to go into the game but not going over board on it, and just basically being encouraging effort.  At that age, the coaching 'experts' at Stoddert push the idea that it's about letting the kids just try to play & problem solve & they are too young for any of the real skills.  The book they suggest is coaching for 'baffled' parents. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/007138488X?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
