Coaches Corner
First off, thank you! This program is impossible with adults stepping up to teach our kids to love and play this game well!
Coach-Pitch coaches are strongly encouraged, but not required, to hold optional practices for their teams outside of regular Thursday practices/games. Confident players are more likely to enjoy the game and return to it! In addition, the extra practice may help older players bridge to 8U baseball/softball next season.
Bell Creek Fields are reserved only for AYS T-Ball/Coach Pitch even during weekends and tournaments.
The fields are reserved for t-ball practice/games on Tuesday evenings.
However, surrounding open areas and batting cages are available for use. If your team would like to reserve a field/time for optional practices outside of Tues/Thurs, please let me know! Otherwise, coaches are free to plan optional practices as they see fit.
DRILLS/RESOURCES - Just a fun resource, not required!
