    JCaff,
    We adopted a dachshund-terrier mix as a puppy several months ago. Since then I've discovered that dacshunds are very intelligent and love "hunting" games such as hide and seek. Haley (our dog) also loves to burrow after small objects, and dacsh... Continue reading »

    Ashley Vissia Lemoine asked:

    I'm a first time coach and I am seeing that the kids get bored quickly. What are some fun activities to do well waiting on a tball drill?

    Jack’s answer:

    You must keep t-ballers busy. Recruit parents to run small group drills. Many parents appreciate being asked if you tell them what to do.

    i hate it when duing volleyball peratice we have to run around track 37 times that sucks and i tell the coach why do that and he still ne li

    Jack’s answer:

    Chelique,
    I will assume that you are exaggerating, and I hope that he is using running as a warm-up and not as punishment. However, if he is indeed running you excessively, or as punishment, you may suggest to him that you use the time practicing actu... Continue reading »

    how to make my dad like going to baseball practice alot more

    Jack’s answer:

    Aarpn,

    Anthony Jansen asked:

    My 7&8 yr old team is pretty short on experience, who plays where?

    Jack’s answer:

    Anthony,
    At this level put your best catchers at 1b, just in case someone actually throws the ball there. I'd rotate the rest of the players evenly at all positions. This age is way too young to begin specializing.

    In the single elimination format your league has made the decision for you. Play to win. This change in direction for you is a great teaching opportunity for you. Your kids must learn and understand that the decisions that you make now are diff... Continue reading »
