I just finished my season and it was a 'success' in that all the girls improved. This year was definately one for fundamentals(sp?). I had a first year team with 2 girls that have played before and even they didn't know the basics. The coach they had worked with a few girls and stuck the rest in the outfield. He was one of the parents this year... you don't want to know that whole situation.

Anyways... I was wondering if anyone knew any ways to make working on fielding and batting fun for the kids? One of the girls showed me an "uno" game they played and it seemed fun, but I have to work on making it a little more 'useful'. I plan on having practices for the girls who would like it even though the season is over. So... any ideas???]]> Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:03:54 +0000 http://www.y-coach.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=897 http://www.y-coach.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1280

This is my second year coaching girls fastpitch. I am having trouble keeping 11 ten&eleven year old girls focused. I thought that after our first game of the season they would get more it to it. Instead they were less motivated at the game then at the previous practices. I do not like to yell but I feel like every practice I am having to yell louder and louder.
I have a hard time trying to explain new rules/drills to the girls because they will start talking over me. I feel like I am constantly reminding them to pay attention and to be quiet while I am talking. I have been making then run more and more lately when they are not listening but I feel like this is a negative approach.
I am normally pretty patient but I am getting very frustrated. Any suggestions?]]> Thu, 07 Aug 2008 19:18:09 +0000 http://www.y-coach.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=299
