Very rough week...I try to make these posts funny, but I didn't see much humor....just a couple of coaches beyond stupid.
The rules are 5 runs or 3 outs per inning, whichever comes first. No more than a double. Coach pitch/batting tee Simple, right?
What did I see:
1. A coach who never moved his players
2. A REAL argument over a force out at home.
3. A coach arguing that players should get more than two bases.
4. There was an argument over some silly rule every inning.
On top of that, I saw a coach making the team run for punishment.
WTF? Are these people insane?
The only way for a kid to become "good" at softball is if she really loves the game. You teach love for the game at the younger ages by making it fun.
If a coach has fun herself/himself you can pass that joy to the kids. It is infectious.
At the younger ages, if you aren't laughing and having a good time with the kids, don't coach.
