Volunteer Coaches: Building Great Practices, One Step at a Time
Volunteer coaches are the heartbeat of youth sports. Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned helper, running a smooth, fun practice can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone!
- Start with a simple plan: Pick 2–3 key skills to focus on each practice. Less is more!
- Use a timer or stopwatch to keep drills moving and maximize energy. Kids love variety and quick transitions.
- Delegate! Ask parents or older players to help set up, shag balls, or run stations.
- Keep instructions short and clear. Show, don’t just tell.
- Always end with something fun—a game, challenge, or team cheer.
- Most important: Remember, your presence and positivity matter more than perfect drills.
