Containing a wealth of hands-on, practical information, Directing Youth Sports Programs will help you develop a sound program philosophy and compatible policies." "This no-nonsense book will help you develop a comprehensive system for recruiting, selecting, educating, and evaluating coaches. It also gives you a step-by-step plan for involving parents so that you can make youth sport a family affair. You'll learn how to evaluate and reduce the risks in your program, increase your program income through special event fundraising and commercial sponsorships, and evaluate and improve your event management skills."
