Re: Mentors on drive team

On 548 we are a student lead team with a student coach every year. I have a great respect for out mentors and the time they put in. I also respect the mentor coaches on the field. The only problem I have with mentor coaches is that this program is designed to inspire high school students and I've found, from being hp twice and from letting 8th graders on the field during off season events, that the chance to be on the field really motivates a lot of kids. As far as experience with the game, I don't see a huge advantage to an adult or a veteran student, both get the game on the same day.
