Coaching A Little League San Francisco

By Marcia Marks


Coaching a little league san francisco is quite a tough job because instead of handling real players, one will be handling children and teaching them how to play ball. Of course teaching children will be quite different from teaching adults or adolescents because the mindset would be different. So if one is a coach, then here are a few things he should take note of.

The first thing to do would be to set rules for the children to follow. Take note that one will be trying to control a team of rowdy little boys which means that they will have the tendency to go out of control. So the coach has to be very strict with his rules and has to enforce them properly so that the kids will listen.

When one starts teaching the kids, the first thing that he will most likely teach would be how to properly hit a ball that is being pitched. Now take note there are a lot of techniques that one can use in order to hit a ball properly. Also, there are different stances to take when preparing to hit the ball in order to avoid getting hit by the ball.

When kids start playing baseball, most of them would have the fear that they might get hit by the heavy ball. So for example, when a ball is being pitched to one of the batters, he will be afraid to hit because he has a fear that he might get hit in the process. In order to address this, the coach has to assure him that if he does get it, the pain will go away after running.

Aside from hitting, pitching is also a very important aspect to take note of. Good pitching will ensure the team that they will not let the other team be able to go to the next base. The coach should be able to teach the children the many different ways to pitch a ball and the many types of pitching techniques that can be used.

Take note that it is actually possible for another team to steal a base. Now in the little league, there are stricter rules when it comes to leading off a base as compared to regular baseball. That is why the coach has to think of more creative ways in order to steal bases from the opponent.

Just to give an idea on the rules of this type of game, all of the players are required to be able to play in at least three innings. Also, it is a must for all of the players to go up into the batting position at least once in the game. Also, there is a limited number of times that a pitcher may pitch during the entire game.

So if one is going to be a coach of little league san francisco, these are some of the things he has to take note of. When it comes to teaching children, patience is a must because they will not be able to grasp concepts as fast as adults. By knowing this, the coach may now adjust his teaching style.
