The most important thing you can do to make your program successful is talk to Mark Padgett about ways to set up the structure of the league so that playing, not winning, is the point. He has a LOT of experinece in this philosophy, and can tell you a lot about what works and what doesn't. The single most effective tool is an active, committed board, that truly isn't as concerned about the winning. These folks need to have the authority to deal with the coaches and parents that seem to feel that "Junior would be the next Michael Jordan, if only everyone else would just get out of the way."
