Little league baseball can either be a good experience or a bad experience. I think that a lot of it depends on the coaching. I can still remember when I was a kid how much I didn’t like my first coach in baseball. It almost made me not want to play again. I felt like the coach didn’t really allow me to learn the game of baseball, especially since I wasn’t as good as the other players. If you’re looking to become a little league baseball coach, don’t be that coach.
There are many ways to become a little league baseball coach. I think the most common way is volunteering. Whether it is one of your kids’ teams or just a random team, you can find one. Now obviously depending on the age group you will need to coach the game a little bit differently. My focus is more on leagues that are less competitive. That’s mainly because that’s where I got my start.
Have fun and give importance
If you are coaching young kids playing for their very first time, a lot of them are going to have no clue how to play the game of baseball. So the most important thing you can do as a coach is have fun. It’s the only thing that is going to make them want to come back and continue learning so that they can one day know how to play. Even if the kids are a little bit older and have a good concept of the game of baseball, most likely there is still going to be that kid who doesn’t play as well as others. Make sure he or she feels just as important as the rest of the team. Give them the same opportunities as you would anybody else. You still want the game to be fun, so make it that way!
Every player is equal
