  • Develop a good relationship with parents to engage Assistant Coaches and Parent Volunteers. They are invaluable to the team.
  • Use my knowledge and experience of fielding, batting techniques, base running, pitching and catching to teach the fundamentals of baseball through drills, games and team building activities.
  • Teach players about the rules, regulations, and specifics of the game.
  • Encourage players to try their best, even if they don’t think they will succeed. This helps them step outside of their comfort zone to try new techniques to better themselves and find what works best for them. For example: We encourage every player to step out of their comfort zone and swing the bat. During one of our games, every single player hit the ball. Just watching the kids (and parents) excitement was the biggest win.
  • Plan weekly practices and encourage all to attend.
  • Provide all necessary equipment for practices and games.
  • Perform general administrative tasks including, creating the batting lineup and placing players in the field. Provide a scorekeeper. Liaise with the coordinator regarding scores, home or away and pitch count.

Share successes with parents. Provide parents with suggestions to help develop better mechanics to support their child.
