[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never understood - the coach insists all the kids get there WAY before the game starts. They practice before the game. Kids get tired out. When they arrived, they ran from the car very enthusiastic. By game time, it's almost a yawn fest. Many coaches of these youth leagues do not know how to get the best performance from their kids. And they've forgotten what's reasonable.[/quote] You try to get the kids there early to they can get warmed up...stretch the muscles, etc. And remember how to catch the ball. If you watch any sports, you will see some teams have the kids show up 2 minutes before the game, some 20-30 minutes. Guess which kids play better? My pregame approach was to stretch for 5-8 minutes, throwing back and forth for 5 minutes, then infield practice. last five min to go over the positions....total warmup of 25 minutes. [/quote]
