Seven Qualities to Look for in a Youth Coach or League

Scott Lancaster is the founder and CEO of Youth Evolution Sports, and the author of Fair Play: How to Make Organized Sports a Great Experience for Your Kids (Prentice Hall Press, September 2002), and “Athletic Fitness for Kids”, Human Kinetics, January, 2008.

Lancaster has 20 years of experience in developing youth sports programs in soccer and football, yet his innovative approach can be implemented to improve all youth sports. Over the 12 years he worked for the NFL, Lancaster developed a youth sports philosophy with an innovative turnkey structure that has reinvented football, providing a more family-friendly way to play and attracted more than four million players (ages 5 to 17) nationwide into his programs. The structure incorporates a progression of skill development, allowing more sensible path for young athletes to play traditional football in their later years.
