Let the team grow, let them fail, let them learn and always be ready to lend a helping hand. I think that's the best way to help rookie teams.

Just my opinion.
While letting them learn and fail is necessary, they do need resources and ideas. They don't need to implement those ideas and it is at their discretion to figure out how to use those ideas, but I think that a resource like this is necessary. Try the websites of chairman's award winning teams. I know RUSH has posted a "toolkit for success" and distributes it as much as possible to anyone who wants to start a team or just did start a team.
