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.

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.

Now one thing to take note when teaching batting would be that a lot of children are scared of getting hit. Now coaches would usually say that even if they do get hit, the pain will disappear once the player starts running. However, there actually is a proper stance to take when batting in order to avoid getting hit by the ball unless the throw of the pitcher is off.

Pitching is a very important aspect in baseball because a good pitcher will be able to stop the opponent from moving to next base. That is why it is very important for a coach to teach pitchers how to throw the ball accurately. There are such pitches that are known as the straight ball, the curve ball, and many more.

Now base running is one of the most challenging aspects of the entire game. Now unlike regular baseball, little league rules are a little bit different when it comes to leading off a base. However, there are other very efficient ways to be able to steal a base which is what the coach has to teach the kids.

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.
