I'm an assistant coach for my son's soccer team this year. The age group is 4 to 6 year olds. I'm a rookie coach and it's challenging to say the least.

One of the areas I find the most challenging is dealing with the kids on the sidelines. Does anyone have any advice, ideas, activities for engaging the kids when they're not playing? I realize that I'm not going to get the attention of every little guy/girl, but I want to be fun for them, even when they're not in the game.

I would also be interested in hearing from people with coaching experience who might have some other good general coaching tips. Thanks!
