It's not as easy as it looks. I was coaching 5 year olds in a non-soccer town and was worried I was wasting time that could have been used to develop them.
I wouldn't want to try coaching 12 year olds as my first soccer coaching experience.
My advice: bring a lot of balls.

This: As The Mick and others have said, avoid the old "10 kids stand around while 2 do a drill" situation that a lot of inexperienced coaches fall into.
Best site I found as a novice youth soccer coach:
Soccer Help
Oh, and if I were you, I'd do a little online research on handling sports parents. Addressed pro-actively and early they can be an incredible resource. Left to their own devices, they can ruin the experience for the kids.
