Coaching from a distance is very much a challenge.
Getting each location to be self-sufficient is very helpful.

One team setup web cam pointed at team rooms... like it was the room next door.
Some have setup a local Jabber server and have permanent chat rooms. First thing you do

The more communication strategies you have the better.
Keep experimenting... do what works for your team.

One stategy is to have each location with it's own sprint list.
