re: Give me some T-Ball “coaching” tips

Basics to learn by the end of the year:

Which base is which
Positions on the field
Not chasing balls hit to other positions
Not fighting over the ball
Getting an out at first
Proper way to field a ground ball
Proper throwing technique
Getting a glove on a thrown ball with fingers up (not basket catching/only advance players will be catching the ball)
Proper grip on the bat
Somewhat decent batting stance
Somewhat decent swing
Running through first base (only a few kids will get it)

The keys are to create short drills instilling these things and change to new drills quickly as attention span are nearly zero. Use stations with just a few players at each drill station. You want them actively engaged in practice and not spending a ton of time waiting their turn.

Also, try to make the drills fun and don't sweat it when the kids aren't picking it up. At that age everything is positive reinforcement and encouragement unless, maybe, there is a behavioral or safety issue that needs correcting.
