Smile One thing I forgot.

This seems to work well for us:

When we go on the field for Pop Warner with a new guy, we put the new guy at LJ with a mentor right behind him (on the side-line). There is an experienced guy across the field at the HL position.

This really helps because you have the mentor talking things over with the new guy and you have the new guy learning how to communicate and use proper mechanics with the HL across the field.

Forward progress is probably one of the most important concepts to grasp in the beginning and the LJ and HL need to work with each other on this.
