Beginning Practice

The first two weeks of practice are critical for a successful season. The key to a successful season is organization and understanding what is suitable for the youth level. Too many coaches have unorganized practices, don't properly teach the necessary skills, and install complicated offensives and defenses that youth players cannot execute. Youth players can only absorb so much, make sure they are learning the right skills to succeed on game day. Don't make the most common mistakes and be labeled as the coach who doesn't know what he is doing. The season is not the time to get up to speed, you need to be prepared the first day of practice.
