Little League Key: Pitching
Pitching is a pivotal position at all levels of baseball, maybe most of all at that first little league kid-pitch level. At the rec level, you’ll be lucky to have 6 kids who can throw strikes reliably, and every batter will face high likelihood of getting hit by a pitch! This Little League Key is dedicated to the coaching aspects of pitching at this youth level.
Little League Key: Building a Game Lineup
If you are coaching a rec league little league team, especially in the 8-9 year old range, one of your weekly tasks, maybe a couple times per week, is setting the game time lineup.
Without a doubt this aspect of coaching baseball is one of my favorites. For game play I would argue it is the one of the most important jobs you have as a coach, up there with setting a good example of how to interact positively with the umps, the other players and coaches.
