run a small enough playbook that kids can understand it. This may be heretical, but 9-man. Shrink the field and make it so that their little brains can grasp what’s going on with fewer players, and reduce the track meet aspect of so many toss and sweep leagues. We are going 7 v 7, 4 plays from one formation for our first game. |

Piggy Backing off of Chris's comment, educate all coaches in the league where each team will receive quality coaching... as opposed to letting parents play "daddy ball" for 4 years where they are running everything under the sun with no direction.
This can easily be done by holding a mandatory clinic on how to run a practice and put together a coherent playbook.

I think that kids that age should be playing Calvinball, making up their own rules and figuring things out for themselves. Calvinball is awesome! I am undefeated in Calvinball (both as a player and a coach) and I've made my own trophies to prove it. |
