There is an Internet site named coachingyouthbasketball.net ( Link: http://www.coachingyouthbasketball.net/ ) which is run by Ed Riley, a car dealer in St. Louis who has been coaching girl's basketball for about 9 years. He has an Internet book titled "How to Coach Youth Basketball for Simpletons Like Me" that gives a lot of good tips on starting out in coaching youth basketball. There is also a resource called Chatterbox, which is bulletin board for coaches, where you can ask any questions you'd like about coaching and you will get a wide variety of answers from experienced coaches.

I've always found it detrimental to the children if I allowed parents to help. It seems that Joe Junior is the next Michael Jordan - or is that Kobe Bryant? And Sally Sue is the next Cheryl Swopes. Whereas if YOU are the coach, then everybody gets to make a contribution to the team, and everyone gets better. Anything the older kids can do, the little kids can do - although it's going to take you more time to teach them.

Ask for parent volunteers to help teach and run the drills and you can organize the game and strategy. Also, get a team mom to help with picture day, uniforms, and other team items. You'll find that many parents want to help out on a smaller level and you won't feel so overwhelmed.

Talk to a local high school or grade school coach. Watch what they do. This is not hard.
