All I think it does is help delegate "some" leadership with the kids. I usually write down the numbers in the book and when crap goes wrong, I try to use those players when I can. Hardly happens, but that is what I do.

I cover sportsmanship, keep your ears open so we can try and keep you out of trouble, be ready to come in the game when you check in, and have a good time. I try to keep it simple and upbeat.
Never. That is why I say as little as possible.
