my view on helping youngsters in this sport, is firstly, encouraging and  making them welcome and the letting them know, the "skies the limit" if worked on,and is patient.   secondly  to accept there are more downs than ups , which will make the  winning more rewarding,,then would advise him/her to have a good  mentor in the management of pigeons,,,  and be prepared to work,and think hard on the many aspects of the sport,  a good mentor would or should be able to help/advise/console/congratulate,,,,,,,,,and most important give freely,

Good words Jimmy, I gifted young Kieran some nice birds the other day with no more advice than enjoy yourself, the good thing is that most youngsters coming into the sport are likely to do so as result of a parent or family member already being involved so they will be able to offer the advice they need.  Looking at some of the children in the sport though and their results they don't take long to learn and can put even the best flyer to the test.
