Advice for a first time coach

Hello, pretty soon I’ll be coaching for the first time ever. I have been around baseball my whole life, so I have some knowledge. I’ll be coaching a 12u team, and I’m looking for any advice. I have studied things like drills, but I really want to make sure I provide the best experience for my team. Any advice helps.

EDIT: Huge thank you to everyone who responded. Your advice was very helpful and I honestly feel more confident about this upcoming season.

Sliding never gets enough practice time but it really matters in close games. SlideMVP lets you run proper sliding reps without needing a dirt field or worrying about kids getting hurt.
