Game Roster
Stats Template
You are the Most Important People in our
organization You determine the kind of experience our athletes have with SVLL baseball and softball
We want Managers/Coaches who want to win and help players learn “life lessons” and positive character traits from sports.
Honor the Game: Respect for Rules, Opponents, Officials, Teammates & Self
Why are you Coaching?
Define Success: Not always related to the Scoreboard (Double Goal Coaching)
Growth of the player/team (What they control) Effort Learning How to deal with Mistakes
Help kids achieve their goals Fun, Friends, Get better, Life lessons, All Stars
Keys to Successful Coaching
That YOU Control BE PREPARED and ORGANIZED Be motivated and enthusiastic Be balanced – it’s called LITTLE League Demand Hustle – set the example Want a Positive Attitude – set the example Practice like you want them to play in a game
Warm ups, Drills, Pregame workouts, Tempo
Teach Your TeachersCoach Your Coaches
Teach your volunteer coaches EXACTLY how to run a drill, what you are emphasizing and how to “verbally” give adjustments to the kids
Use older, experienced players to help younger or less skilled players – partners in fielding short hops, pepper, etc. Challenge these kids to be “leaders” by example
FIRST
Great Teams PAY ATTENTION!
Watch opposing pitchers What is his “out” pitch? How does he start batters? Does
he “tip” his pitches? What’s the umpire’s strike zone like? Which defensive players aren’t paying attention? Is the third baseman standing too deep? Can you figure out the opposing coaches signs? Have kids keep pitch count while on the bench. Anything to keep them learning the game from
bench.
Game Strategies Moving your outfield & infielders Pitching – Location & change of speed
Lower levels: just being able to throw a strike Intermediate: ability to pitch inside & off speed Majors: move ball, work outside corner, change
speeds, work out of zone, pitch backwards Running game –
Being aggressive at all times on the bases Forces defense to be in a heightened state at all times
and to make plays NOT delaying the game by messing around
Game Strategies (cont.) Defense
Play for outs – outs are your friends Can’t get an out, limit them to one base
Middle of the field Catcher-pitcher-shortstop-centerfield
Vary types of pitchers – one slow, one fast; one tall, one shorter; right, then left;
Pitch calling – coach calls, but provide instruction to pitcher/catcher between innings about “why this pitch” was called or location, sequencing, etc.
Strategies for DEVELOPING your TEAM Player survey – identify kids that have a goal
to play a position assign them “homework” and benchmarks to work toward
so that they can achieve their goal
“Sandwhiching” pitchers Use out of hand games to pitch new pitchers Start strong and finish strong (have your horse in reserve to
finish)
Strategies for DEVELOPING your TEAM (cont.) Weak Pitcher, STRONG Defense
Slow pitcher, strong 3B, SS, LF & CF Fast pitcher, strong 1B, 2B, RF, CF Accurate pitcher: strong SS, 2B & CF
Kids can only learn to hit by HITTING! Make your kids swing the bat! Don’t rely on bunting your weak hitters
It takes a great hitter to be a great bunter If you are going to bunt as a strategy, make sure that your
kids understand that and are given praise for this accomplishment.
Move a struggling hitter higher up in the order to get more AB’s
LEGACY & MEMORIES How do you want to be remembered?
This is about the kids playing the game, not you playing Manager/Coach.
Give them something they will respect and remember for years to come – good coaching and mentoring.
Remember, your job is to help these kids achieve their goals – know what they are.
