I'll second what McBear & Felix said, and add the following:
Most of the time experience is the best teacher. The reality of youth sports is that you can warn, cajole or attempt to accomodate until you're blue in the face, but until the players and coaches are forced to live with the consequences of their mistakes they really don't pay attention. Shielding them from those consequences, however well intended, is not doing them a favor, but in reality is doing them a disservice.
