[quote=Anonymous]In my opinion, teaching lane etiquette is on the coaches when the kids are 10 and under. Some kids just want to be first in line without understanding that it’s a traffic flow issue. My son had some trouble with this in his once per week winter program last year. The assertive girls would insist on going first and he would get stuck behind them. I tried to tell him to stand up for himself and insist on going first he is running them over, and to move back if they are doing something he isn’t as good at and they start running him over. But it annoyed me that the coaches weren’t paying attention to the dynamics. You can’t expect young kids to understand this innately. [/quote]
