Best play from the first minute

My U12 team are great - once they get going! They always seem to take the first quarter to get in to the game. Any hints on how to get them playing their best from the first minute? They warm up properly and practice pre-match....

can you get them to the game a little earlier than you have been and play half court for 10mins? nothing changes if nothing changes. so maybe change their warm up. you can also try setting a goal for the first quarter in exchange for marshmallows or something. anything that will lift their spirits, and get them excited, focused and settle their nerves.

unfortunately though. it may be just something they will have to work through as the season progresses.
