    Make sure that you have lots of help. T-ballers are all over the place. Keep things simple. Teach the basics and make sure they are having fun!

    I am a first time Tee Ball coach. I had the same question. I found the best thing was to have a quick warm up (run bases twice) Then create three stations (10 min each): 1)Batting, rotate batter and fielders. 2) Fielding, roll, bounce, or throw ball to players based on skill 3) Throwing, focus on grip and stance. After all players have rotated thru have a scrimmage.

    I agree with Polly. It's like herding cats. Break them into small groups. Make the practice short, to the point, and fun. Jut work on having them understand the basics of the game.

    Again.....make it fun. We want them to come back!

How do I instill a winning attitude as a coach and still make the game FUN for the kids?
