I coached both my daughters for many years - at that age, honestly, not a


lot. Fundamentals. Teamwork. Rules of the game. Fun.
It required about 2 nights a week and then the game(s) on Saturdays/Sundays.
I loved doing it, and depending on the league they may even have the basic coaches schedule already set up.
Plus, you will never get that time back with your child....unless they are the next Curry, it's all fun - except for about 20% of the parents who think 7/8 year olds are playing for the NBA - now those folks are F'd in the head!!!
