The problem in the area where I am from are that the only people that are willing to coach here are THE DADDIES. They will not pay the coaches 6th grade and below where I am from and people that have played football that don't have kids will not volunteer to coach.

Having a dad coach is fine... as long as it is not "Daddy Ball"

The biggest issue you will see is a Coach will want to move with his son along the ages, and gear his coaching to benefit his own agenda, rather than that of the entire program.

Your best programs typically have set pieces in place as the Head Coaches at the Youth Level and even have a specific Youth League director to oversee everything and make everything that occurs is to the benefit of the program.

Nothing effects numbers more, or drives people to leave more, than having a father follow his son as the Head Coach.

The direction to change this path begins with the Head Coach of the High School. He has to have oversight over his Youth League and make sure the proper people are running it and instilling the instruction he wants.
