[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve coached baseball for years both rec and travel and adapted practices for each as well as age. [b]Biggest challenge by far has been getting volunteer help[/b] - not so much travel because folks are invested. But in rec parents were always quick to be all over their kid for swing mechanics etc but couldn’t bother to volunteer for station help. Or when they saw I was solo with 12 8-year-olds. “I don’t know baseball that well” - did you see me lobbing balls underhand? did you see me putting balls on tee for tee work? It’s that simple and doesn’t take PhD in baseball to help…[/quote] This, although I will note that everyone weighing in on Vienna Little League, which OP specifically referenced, made it sound like people were tripping over themselves to coach. Honestly, that would be awesome. Typically the only way to get parents to help is to have a bad enough coach that parents give up and step in.[/quote]
