Getting Kids to Practice on Time
As the season starts, we want to get off to a good start with our team and
what is expected of them. Of course, youth baseball is unlike a school team
sport and you cannot force a player to practice or even force them to be on
time. However, there are certain things you can do as a coach to ensure your
team develops good habits. My own personal pet peeve was having the players
arrive late for practices. My practices usually run no longer than one hour
and if a player is fifteen minutes late, he misses a full quarter of a
practice. I have tried a number different tactics. The first one is, I give
each player a number as they arrive at practice and they keep that number
throughout the practice. Whoever arrives first is number one and when it
comes to batting practice he or she goes first. The players remember this
and
after a couple of practices, you will notice the difference with players
arriving early to get a good number. Another technique I use is to start
practice with a mini batting practice even before warm ups. After you do
this
a few times, you'll notice the players arriving early and telling you that
they go first. Do not do this technique every practice but every once in a
while. Practices, especially early in the season, will set the tone for a
successful and fun season.The kids take notice when the coach arrives early
and organized. Use these two techniques to get your players to arrive on
time.
