The information on this page summarizes the extensive research and experience on the role that coaches play in youth sports.  It is meant for our coaches, as a self-check, and also for other participants (players, parents, administrators), as a set of expectations and recommendations for measuring coaches.  The information is concise and, we hope, easy to read and understand.
