- Don’t yell “Just throw a strike”. They are trying.
- Don’t yell “ Swing” or “what are you swinging at”. They are trying.
- Don’t yell “Run, Go, Back, or anything else the coach might say” it is confusing and harder to coach when you do that.
- Baseball/Softball is a very hard game. Players are getting paid $300 Million to play and still strikeout, still make errors and still are not perfect. Your son/daughter is not making $300 million and is not perfect, they will make mistakes.
- Every coach has a different style and just because a coach yells doesn’t mean he/she thinks any differently about your child.
- Winning is secondary in this program. Your team will win when everyone works hard and gets better as a team.
- There is nothing wrong with losing. What they will learn will make them better.
- CHEER your child on, Enjoy the Sun, Enjoy the other parents, Support each other and let the kids have fun. Treat 0-4 the same as 4-4, treat a perfect game the same as not being able to throw a strike. Bring them to practice and the games and make sure they enjoy both.
