Re: Make Scouting Fun?

KISS...

Students that want to contribute and are not drivers or engineers= good scouts
Sell the importance of scouting
Mentor needs to lead, scouts need to do the grunt work with the mentor
Meetings to collaborate pick lists.

I am bored by many teams that seem to have pre-done scout sheets... who wants to count every defense? I sure don't.

What i tell my scouts to concentrate on are upcomming opponenets and upcoming partners + any stand out performers.

We track HG/LG...since we are a breacher we don't care about breaching. We can do it if needed.

Keep it simple let them keep track the way we want but every scout should be developing a TOP 20 list and able to give relevant intel to drive team.

My scouts love the way we do it..and it makes a huge difference. In essence scout what you lack and find ways to win games.
