I am new to this forum so I hope my question is not too redundent. My goal is to coach our little league team to a successful season where we win some games and have the kids all get better, of course while having fun.
What sort of sequence of practices and game strategies should I use to get the most of the kids this season? A couple of ideas I was playing with:
Start off with a team practice that evaluates each player for hitting, fielding, throwing and baserunning. Asst. Coach taking notes. Have a parents meeting at this point.
Next practice have 3-4 kids with similar weaknesses or strengths show up for one hour. Spend the hour with them and then have another group show up the next hour and then the next till they have all worked on their skills and I know them each better.
Next practice. Work with pitchers and catchers while asst. coach works with the rest on drills and team play.
Next practice. Skill development & team play with pitchers and catchers in game.
One scrimage game before season starts.
My question is what strategies have experienced coaches used in putting together a progression of practices to maximize the performance and skills of a little league team?
