He stresses that parents need to encourage their kids to organize themselves for playground games. The benefits are huge! Not only physical but mentally for young players. Coach Steve Messer’s biggest reward is watching his players go through the program at Hersey High School. At the end of each season he sees his kids as colleagues, not players.
