You said yes to coaching. Now what?
"What do I even do for an hour?"
Every practice is planned minute by minute, with the drills and the words to say.
"How do I keep 10 kids busy?"
Short lines, a ball in every hand, and a fun game at the end of every practice.
"What about playing time?"
Pick the rotation sheet for tonight's headcount and follow the dots. Fair, and no math on the bench.
Two kits. Same one-page system.

10 one-page practices
About 60 minutes each, building week by week from 'Meet the Ball' to a season-finale scrimmage. Timed blocks, coaching cues, and a fun game to finish.
20 drill cards
Setup, how it works, coaching points, and easier and harder versions. Four to a page: cut them out and clip them to your board.
Fair-minutes rotations
Ready-made sheets for 7 to 12 players, plus a blank one. Follow the dots and everyone plays as equally as the math allows.
Parent messages
Six copy-and-send templates: welcome, schedule, what to bring, snacks and volunteers, playing time, and an end-of-season thank-you.
Season at a glance
The whole season on one page: each practice's focus, key cue and finishing game, with space for your dates.
Safety first
Warm-ups, water, supervision, head-injury basics and a game-day checklist, so you can coach with confidence.
