The environment SHOULD be recreational for kids under 12. This gives them time to enjoy playing for the sake of playing before the competitiveness kicks in. Over 12 there is an emphisis on skills and desire to win. It is sad to see parents pushing kids as young as 5 and 6 to be ultra competitive. Parents should stop trying to make their kids do things that they can no longer do themselves. GAME ON...ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN.

Just how old are we talking about? If they're 6-9, teach them to dribble, and basic skills like shooting. If they dont have correct form, dont worry about it. It will come with time. Explain only basic rules of the game, such as, no pushing, no walking with the ball, and how to shoot in your own basket. DOnt go into very many details at firlst. If they semem to be understanding, then you might do into more, but just start with basics.

I let them dig in & take what they want. Some kids took 2 pieces, some 10 pieces. I don't get many kids, so there was plenty to go around.

Well what I have my kids do is if the player is obviously the best on the oposing team.  I have my best and most conditioned player stay with that person the entire game.  I also dont mean stand 5 feet away at all times I mean close enought to pick his pokets.  It usally frustrates the player to no end.

Definitely my thoughts exactly. In fact, I wrote to Yahoo Answers to separate the kids from the adults but didn't get a response.  No offense to the kids, but their questions make me gag...."I got a date...what should I do?", etc. It would really improve the game!

Report the coach to the sponsoring organization and encourage other team parents to do likewise.  Have specifics - content, circumstances, tone, dates.  If nothing comes of it, then either you are being excessivly sensitive or its time to find another team.  \n\nBest of luck!

You'd have to make the goals smaller or the game would be pointless.  There'd have to be something to make it a challenge to score.  In basketball, for example, there's no goalie but the "goal" is ten feet in the air.

ONLY IF THEY HAVE KIDS TOGETHER. Then it's kinda necessary for the kids sake.

Tell them to get active or you'll drop their players. :)

Have the kids pick up their own toys and put them away.  Make a game of it, set a timer, or sing songs while you do this.

no problem whatsoever, just so long as you are not trying to start a new family, it would be real unfair to the kids you could have, if this is part of your master plan.

will you let all the kids play equal amounts of time.\n\nIf the answer is yes... that is all you really need to know.
