A primer for organizing and coaching kids - K through 9th grade.
Disgruntled parents, win at all costs, troublemakers, playing time, balancing the talent, drop-outs forced out, competitive or non-competitive, paid or parent volunteer coaches - all issues faced head-on in this book
Coaches experience many problems - many created by excluding parents from the process. Concrete ways to involve parents in the process as well as step by step help with kid-coaching basics and trouble management by the coach and league.

Introduction (Up to Menu)

Have you ever:

- Heard a coach hollering at his kids in anger; "Play Ball" and wondered what that meant?

- Coached a kid's team against the league organizer who "just happened" to have more talented kids on his team?

- Heard a parent lament that, "Sports shouldn't be so competitive"?

- Been asked by the Recreation District to sign a pledge to "stay out of the process"?

- Seen bottom performers forced off their team?

- Witnessed a parent hollering obscenities at the coach or official?

- Witnessed a coach that tolerated his kids swearing on the field?

- Seen the parents malign the coach?

- Heard the coach malign the parents?

- And on the bright side, had a kid smile at you in the grocery store and say, "Hi Coach"?

Well I have! These typical problems (except the last, of course) sound like we have some bad people in the process. By my experience, it usually isn't the people, it's the process.

Want to coach kids? Frank Watts says: “Go for it!” We both know however, that the problem lies in getting there. In this entertaining primer, he breaks the process down through the use of easily understood vignettes that demonstrate the pitfalls to be avoided while completely defining the road to success. You’ll love his irreverent ‘down home’ style of presenting the logic you will use to successfully coach kids. Read this book…then go for it!
