Message: [QUOTE="swish7, post: 4945838, member: 486"] Looks like you got some good advice already. I just want to chime in that I miss this age so much. Keep it fun. Encourage players to try different positions. Focus on effort and fun and assists. Put no stock whatsoever in winning and losing. I had a team where one of the dads was some kind of AAU coach, but his head was in the right place, and was just there to enjoy his kid. The kid could do anything and score at will. Same team, had the littlest girl with the biggest heart. I'd alternate the 2 at PG, and give her the better off ball players. She got better and better and ended up having some big moments. But basically was always rotating and balancing and mixing players. At the end of the season, the mom was in tears at how I looked out for her daughter. Wonder what both are up to now? [/QUOTE]
