Trials and tribulations of coaching Little LeagueThanks for the tip. 1st game was sun am, apparently the kids listened enough during practice and looked like a baseball team out there. Could not be any more proud of the way they played and sportsmanship they showed. Next game monday at 6. |

Trials and tribulations of coaching Little LeagueThe kids are fine. If you have a decent group that are willing to learn andwant to play it's not a problem. It...is...the...parents. My son's 12 and in the Major Division. The kids are kids. They're still going to act like 11/12 year olds from time to time. But when mom & dad act like 11 & 12 year olds is when the problems begin. From "forgetting" about the pitch counts, to "adjusting" the score book to "booing " the opposing team. It just makes the whole scenario that much more "special".

Trials and tribulations of coaching Little LeagueYeah, visited sight , has good fundementals and steps by steps...printed out copy on outfielding. Tied 2 so far (darkness prevented completion of games--will have to contiue later is season) and lost 1, they just couldn't hit some one throwing slower than the batting coach does in practice. Overall getting the fundemantals, I think they just ignore us during practice, then get their game faces on which is ok I guess. Next up Tues with 6 players missing due to a band concert--will leave us with just enough to fiels a team of 9. Will be interesting as there will be new kids at new positions.....is ok to hope for rain??? |

Trials and tribulations of coaching Little LeagueSign him up. Great to have kids get the bat off of heir shoulders. I don't mind a strike out, but swing the bat. Maybe you'll get lucky and the ball will hit your bat!!! Anyway, we lost another one 10-8 and the kids played and looked like a baseball team...making the right decisions (maybe not making the play) but looking like a baseball team. |
