Coaching Tips
Give mom or dad a glove or bat, too! If you are coaching youth
baseball or softball this spring or summer, keep in mind that the
moms and dads of your players can be much more than chauffeurs for
their kids' games and practices. All it takes is a little creativity
on your part to include them in your sessions. You can involve as
many interested parents as you want in your practices and here are
some ways you can pull it off:
Pair kids and parents in drills: You can liven up a routine drill
with the help of the parents. For example, you can put a parent on
the base paths, and you can have the players run through a rundown
situation (where the base runner is caught between bases with no
safe place to turn). The kids will love the challenge of trying to
tag a mom or dad out.
Set up a parent-child scrimmage: The kids will really love seeing
their moms at bat, their dads running the bases, and their friends'
parents chasing down balls in the outfield. You can play an inning
or two at the end of practice to conclude the day on a fun note, or
you can devote a mid-season practice to the scrimmage as a nice
break from the routine.
