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.

Now when one teaches kids, he has to make sure he has clear rules. If kids would see that there are a clear set of rules to follow, then most likely they would listen to the one who made them. Kids respect authority if the coach would prove to the kids that he is someone who should be respected.

Now hitting is one of the most important aspects of baseball because the hit will determine whether a player can go to the next base or not. So it is very important for coaches to teach hitters the proper way of hitting the ball as well as the proper techniques. He should also teach them the proper stances in order to hit the ball properly.

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.

Now when it comes to pitching, one has to make sure to pitch accurately. If one knows how to accurately pitch a ball toward the catcher, the other team will not be able to proceed. Now there are a lot of methods and techniques to pitch a ball which is what the coach should be teaching to his team.

Base running is probably the hardest part of baseball as a whole. Base running would actually be in line with stealing a base. However, take note that a coach has to be creative when teaching kids how to lead off a base because little league has rather strict rules when it comes to this aspect.

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 as one can see, coaching little league san francisco is pretty much the same as coaching the regular league but with a few differences. The major difference between the two would be the methods of teaching that the coach has to use. The coach has to be extra patient when teaching children because children do not understand things as fast as adults.
