You’re 13 and you’re coaching two teams? That seems irresponsible for the parents of that league.
Well, you’ll find they generally don’t have much attention span and they’ll be busy talking to each other, giggling, watching airplanes and chasing butterflies on the field.
I suggest going to a library or bookstore and getting a book on how to coach the young’ns. At 5 and 6 years of age, they just need to learn to not use their hands. Teach them basic technique, like striking the ball with the inside of their feet, trapping the ball with the inside of their feet.
Let them run around a lot and scream. It’s what they want to do.
