I think it’s important as a coach to allow the players to play every position. This not only will make it fun for the kids but it will allow you as a coach to find out what positions they are best at and you can lead them in that direction. Also, give them equal playing time. No kid should get less playing time. The batting order should be switched around as well. In little league baseball you don’t need to bat the best batters at the top of the lineup. There’s no problem with mixing it up a bit. As you do these things, all the players are going to enjoy it more because they will begin to learn what they like and don’t like.
No need to get angry
Finally, don’t get upset at any of your players. If this isn’t a competitive league, high school, college, etc, there’s no reason to get upset at the way a kid is playing. You have to find a way to teach them to do better without making them seem like they are doing something wrong. Easier said than done but it’s possible. This also will go a long way with the parents. They will see the respect that you have for their children and that is always a positive.
Following these tips will make your coaching experience fun and successful. Who knows, you might even learn a thing or two.
