Anyone have any T-Ball coaching tips?

I coached 3/4th grade basketball for two years and had 10 kids I’ve never seen before. I didn’t do so hot the first year, the second year we all did great! I’ve been out of coaching because my day job has kept me working too much. I’m going to have an opportunity to coach my 6yr old steps-sons T-Ball team I know a lot about baseball, but unlike basketball, I never played in the youth leagues when I was a kid. I played slow pitch softball for work a few years ago, that’s it! I’ve been teaching my step-son since last summer how to hit a slow pitch, off a tee, how to throw and catch, but what are some drill ideas or some safety things I should keep in mind for coaching a group of kids.

Thanks!

At that age it should be all about fundamentals. This is when they will learn the proper techniques of fielding, swinging and throwing that will be their foundation down the road.

During practice split them up into 3 groups (hopefully you’ll have 2 or 3 helpers). One group can work on swinging, one on fielding grounders, and one on catching fly balls (use tennis balls so they won’t be so scared of the ball, just toss it up underhanded about 10 or 15 feet into the air). Depending how long practice is will determine how much time to spend in each group. After a certain amount of time have them switch. If you have enough kids and help you could add a fourth group to work on throwing.

One thing I discovered kids that age like to do during the game is that everybody will go after the ball when it’s hit. It will look like a scrum in a rugby match. Try to emphasize the different positions and the area they should cover. Emphasiize backups, for example the right fielder should be backing up first base when the ball is thrown there. Also move the kids around to different positions. One inning half play infield and half play outfield then the next inning switch them around. Finally keep their mind in the game. A lot of them like to play in the dirt. Remind them they need to focus on the batter.

Indoor Practice Drills: Hitting Drills (DVD) $39.99 With Scott Stricklin,Kent State University Head Coach;2006 Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year;2008 & 2006 Mid-American Conference regular season titlesThis excellent DVD is dedicated to hitting and all of the important fundamentals needed to consistently drive the ball. A player’s stance and set up is the foundation of a good hitter. Coach Stricklin and his players demonstrate how the feet are a big part of the stance. A good bat grip consists of proper knuckle and elbow alignment, which allows you to “whip” the bat through the strike zone. A proper stance will require the bat be at a 45-degree angle. A level head will assure that your eyes are also level. The stride follows a good stance. Loading up the backside prepares a hitter for the pitch and is an important aspect of hitting. A good swing relies on the arms staying compact until contact is made, then hitters extend their arms through the hitting zone. Four things must be present for good hitters: head, back, back side and balance. Stricklin believes in the concept of “staying inside the baseball.” This means you are short to the baseball and hitting the ball where it’s pitched. The first set of drills demonstrates hitting off of a tee. The double tee drill produces two types of hits from two identical swings. To work on the timing mechanism, the soft toss drill gives players lots of hitting opportunities. Other hitting drills include the behind toss, angle toss and front toss. The bounce drill simulates pitches by bouncing the ball off the ground. Moving to the batting cage, players can practice simulated rounds of batting practice. Rounds will develop hitting from different situations such as bunting, hit and run, runner at second with no outs, runner at third base with the infield in, swing away and more. These drills will teach fundamentals and improve productivity and consistency at the plate.51 minutes. 2006.

The 4-6-3 double play demonstrates the key coaching points for the second baseman and shortstop. Adding the first baseman, the 3-6-1 and 3-6-3 double play drill provide the same fundamentals, but begin from the first base side.

Situational Pitching and Recognizing Hitters (DVD) $39.99 With Chris Sinacori, Peoria Mariners Pitching Coach (Seattle Mariners Rookie League affiliate);former Wake Forest University Pitching Coach;former Arizona State University Pitching CoachChris Sinacori shares the secrets to becoming a successful pitcher which helped him win a gold medal as a member of the USA Baseball Junior Olympic team in 1988. Sinacori stresses the importance of having three pitches in your arsenal that will help you in game situations. Sinacori carefully demonstrates grips, and emphasizes the mechanics and follow-through of some popular pitches – such as the 4-seam fastball, 2-seam fastball, cut fastball, curveball, slider, and multiple forms of the change-up. Each pitch is broken down thoroughly showing four angles of the hand to display positions for right and left-handers. Sinacori then goes over situational pitching and the thought processes a dominant pitcher must go through. These are situations that any athlete could be faced with from little league to high school level. Sinacori informs you how to handle situations such as: runners on base, pitching around a particular hitter, forcing the batter to hit into a double play, hit and run situations and what to look for when going against a batter in a bunt situation. With the information on this video and a little practice, you will help build an assertive pitcher that will be able to work the plate and keep opposing batters unbalanced. 37 minutes. 2004.

Frank Anderson’s Pitching Clinic (DVD) $39.99 With Frank Anderson,Oklahoma State University Head Coach;former University of Texas Pitching Coach (including College World Series Championship season in 2002) In Pitching Clinic, Coach Anderson leads you through a pitching progression for pitchers at all levels. Finding the normal arm swing for each pitcher is the initial concern. A favorite drill of Anderson’s gives a coach an opportunity to view the pitcher’s normal arm swing. He shows how a routine ground ball can help coaches analyze a pitcher’s arm slot. Anderson breaks down the wind up, grip (based on the four seam fastball grip), the rocker step and the stride. Other factors are the backside action, eliminate the front side, squared shoulders and releasing the ball through home plate. The follow through is the key to releasing the ball to the plate. A set of progression drills includes: Open up/backside action and figure eight drill. Anderson concludes with a detailed step-by-step review of each element of the throw. 37 minutes. 2008.
