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.
