Example of Tips include:

Coaches
Conduct a parent meeting as soon as possible after learning which players are on your team. Use the meeting to explain your approach to coaching, learn what your athletes and parents want from their youth sports experiences and to set expectations for athlete and parent behavior in the coming season.

Parents
Avoid having your children specialize in one sport too early. It can lead to burnout and overuse injuries, and perhaps worst of all, falling out of love with the sport.
