Ray -- I urge you to get some more experienced people to help out with the scrimmage-time and then to mentor in the first game or two. I think this will accelerate the learning process overall.
During the scrimmage time, have each working newbie with one mentor, and then have a mentor or two talking to the newbies who are observing. Work with your mentors a little bit ahead of time, so that their messages to the newbies are consistent and basic. You don't want one mentor talking about Lead being in the wide-out or closed-down position, and then someone else discussing the relative merits of cutting across the key when the ball is in the opposite low post.
Be sure the mentors aren't show-offs, and are very good communicators. Buy them a pizza party half way through the season when they are done kicking their "little ones" out of the next.
