Major Coaching Objectives are to:
- Have fun! Coaches and players should have fun and enjoy their time together. This sense of fun should permeate practice time as well as games.
- Help young athletes develop. The coach develops players in several ways. Physically-players learn to build new skills on top of previously learned skills as they become more complete players. Psychologically-young athletes learn how to control their emotions and hopefully attain a good self-image. Socially-young athletes begin to see that it takes a team effort to be successful.
- Have a winning team. Everyone wants to win. Coaches help players learn to win and lose, and to understand that striving to win, doing one's best, is more important than actually winning.
