Hey all, last season was my first at the helm (with a 6 week shortened COVID season).
We…struggled. Strengths: built awesome culture, traditions. Didn’t lose a single player despite losing all games but one. Wasserman’s program led to great gains in team throwing fundamentals Weaknesses: damn near everything else. Haha. Volleyball is king in my area, and girls play that year round, and so I don’t get many who have even played middle school ball.
So, I’m a current culture that means I really will only get them for our three month season and that’s it, what would you prioritize? Last year, I really tried to emphasize outfield/infield dailies to build mechanics (and so I could work with pitchers while assistants led those). Then, either team D/situations, or hitting stations with as much live pitching as we could. Admittedly, we did way less hitting than we should have.
if this were your program, and you’d anticipate 18-20 girls with two coaches, how would you think about
Structuring practices? (A.K.A., fix my program, y’all! )
