WP, EL and the rest of you are all right, points systems, playing child minder for a day or all acting ass the next best coach in fell running. There is no right way to involving the kids and as you can see by this forum no one does it the same as the next fella, what ever the sport where kids are involved in, what ever the country and what ever the level, coaching juniors will always be differnet which is why the rules don't help in ths instance.

Look back in the late 90's the Dutch claimed Ajax way of coaching football was the only way, now look at Ajax, 2010 to date its all Barca, i'm too young to know this for sure but looking at distance running when Cram, Ovette and Coe i imagin the Ebglish way was the only way, yet now there is no other way but to be a Kenyan.

Coaching kids should be a 'Breeze' !!!!

TOO MUCH INTERFERENCE :thunbdown:
