I tell the kids everyday what we are going to work on that day, and when I tell them a joke, they seem to be a little more loose, and practice starts out better.
Anyone have a list, or maybe a joke or two to help me out?

my HS coach had a dry-wit and was a great guy. He used to always talk about being focussed and being disciplined, being tough......so he'd quiet us all down and talk about the next opponent is for real - consequently, he would direct his attention to the ugliest (hopeless) guy on the team and say...."and that means, _____, especially.... no sex until after the game" (this guy had no hope of getting laid before or after the game, anyway)
I'm not sure you can get away with saying that today but it was perfect.
The subtle cracks - not big 'jokes' are the most effective (for lightening the mood) and let kids know you're human (without being a slappy). An easy way to inject levity (i've found) is just to stop a group of guys in practice, and declare a paper-rock-scissors competition. 8 seconds and done - no explanations needed and you get a pseduo-competition in. OR just offer / solicit a true/false gambit (ala, "who's hotter? Beyonce or Ke$ha?.....) , redirects attention ON the kids (personality) without breaking form
