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

Have them stand in a circle, put one baseball in play, and have them roll the baseball to each other. They will have to pay attention because they never know if the ball will be rolled their way. their job is to catch or stoop the rolling ball with their glove, take the ball out with their bare hand, and roll it to someone else on the team. It's a game so it should be fun.

They will learn basic skills like how to stop a ground ball, how to transfer it from their glove to their other hand, and how to release it with that hand. They will learn to keep their eyes on the ball. They will learn how to interact as a team.

If you play the circle game every practice your kids will be the best fielders in the league. It works much faster than putting them in bases and all over the field and you shagging balls at them. They will get bored with that real fast. But the circle game will teach young kids more basic skills faster than playing positions.

And have extra balls ready because they will miss a bunch.
