As an FLL coach the only thing you can do is stand on the sidelines and cross your fingers. (I find this to be the hardest part of coaching....well that and not being able to open my mouth when they are in judging)

Seriously, make a checklist and maybe have a special bin that they can put everything in to take up to the table with them. Your job is to make sure they don't leave anything in the pit.

Stress the fun factor. Have a cheer and wear something silly. You will set the tone. If you are having a good time, they will too, no matter what your scores are.
