Now that coaches have picked their teams, or are about to pick them, we look at some of the things that can make the season go a little better if you’re on top of them early. So much of what coaches do is focused around the on-court component, when we have just as much to take care of, off the court.

We discuss the first parent meeting, what you need to go over, how to work with the parents, how to build team cohesion and what you should be looking at doing in your first training session with the group.
