I can’t tell you how excited I was to find you web site. I am a brand new coach and know virtually nothing about the game except what I learned over thirty years ago in elementary school. I am in a panic. I start practice soon and will be coaching eight and nine year olds... I'll be relying on your material for my coaching efforts. Thanks!!... D.L..
