A couple tips:

- Move the sub-location away from any parents. Beside the net usually works. If it's too close to distractions it's really hard to keep track or encourage them to cheer. They also will be less likely to run off to the parents for every bump if the sideline is not also used for the subs.

- Go with 3-4 minute cycles, and try not to allow anyone to come off early. If someone is tired, they may just think they can go sit off, I encourage them to finish the cycle (usually only about a minute) then they get to take their break. This is easier on you to keep track if everyone changes together and they are picking up another life skill by having to dig a little deeper.
