how do you go about doing this?
I know we all show them and talk and things, but how much actual structure do you have within the program to actually set time aside just for this purpose?

I try to have time in pre season to talk with each coach about what I want from our kids, and from them. Then (when I actually have enough assistants and am not tied down to a position) I watch each of them the first couple of weeks to make sure they are going along the right path of skills that I want.
Then on each day I try to take five minutes with a different coach to talk about what's going in with their kids, with them, answer any questions, suggest drills, etc. Often this is while the kids are running their lap and doing their warm ups.
In a lot of regards teaching new coaches is like teaching players.
The biggest thing I run into is their expectations of skill level. Especially in Youth Ball, having guys expect first year players to know how to trap right without being shown, what cover 1 2 3 are, things that most of us take for granted. It kind of hits them then what they are in for...
