BTW I've just been updating our kids RU club with this years Child Protection Policy documents and the RU guide to parents who are choosing a club for their kids, what to look for in a club, what the set up should be etc etc - they are in a pdf format and I'd expect your club to give you access to theirs, if not and if you want a copy of these then PM me with an email address.

Dude

Read what I wrote.

Teambuilding and keep breaking up play to discuss things.

You'd barely get 5 PtBs but the lads will think they've played a game.

thanks for the replies. Basically the guy who was helping walked out on monday, and they asked me last night if i could help out and run through a couple of things. I'll only be assisting, we've all got to start somewhere and should we go another 30years without beating the Aussies, I'll be to blame

.

PS - Watch your back for the parents.

A really good thing you can do as assistant is stand with the kids when the coach addresses the team (instructions etc) rather than alongside the coach. If they see that you're listening they'll be encouraged to listen....which makes everything run smoother!
