SO second year 10U coach here. Last year, as a 9 heavy 10U team we had a very good year. We were right around 500, beat some second year teams and generally were competitive game in and game out.
Move ahead a year and now playing with a target on our back as the second year team and what I'm noticing my biggest issue thus far is having that kid who steps into the lead role. Last year, I had a 10 yo shortstop who was the ringleader but on the field took charge and made sure they all know what they were supposed to be doing at all times. I don't have that this year. I have 11 good kids but no one vocal enough to step into that.
How do you develop leaders?
