Hello Coaches!! We are working on a project to include a new section on the website dedicated to helping new coaches. As you veteran coaches know and new coaches are about to find out, that first year can be a bit overwhelming! We would like to give new coaches some suggestions and hints on what to expect and ways to make the first year go more smoothly. We are inviting all coaches to send us your feedback. VETERAN COACHES - If I had only known... Please send in things you wish you had been aware of, helpful resources you have found, ideas to motivate a team, ways to handle the inevitable ups and downs of team dynamics, time line hints, and any other information that you think would be helpful to new coaches not knowing where to begin!! NEW COACHES Please let us know areas or topics that you think would be most helpful in getting started with FLL. Please email this information to me by August 15th. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. THANKS!! Sally Sylvester FLL Coach - Team 11 Richmond VA ______________________________________________________________ To UNSUBSCRIBE or CHANGE YOUR SETTINGS, please visit https://listserv.jmu.edu/archives/vadcfll-l.html and select "Join or leave the list".
