This is what dd’s coach did. He was pretty good at explaining the point of every station to whoever was running it.Ideally, BTW, you don't run a station. You constantly go from station to station instructing. Parents on the field are not coaches; they put balls on tees or throw or reinforce what YOU TELL THEM.
Most of the parents were rec ball coaches from the various small towns the kids came from.
Another interesting thing- the coaches felt they had less parent drama because every kid had a parent helping at practice and they felt that it forced people to get along better.
I will say that this coach was a great communicator. I think that’s part of why it worked. I don’t know if I could pull it off or not.
I wish o.p. the best of luck and urge patience. Being on the right track is great but it might take awhile to get the bugs worked out.
