With players new to the game, the coach must ensure that he/she begins with a simple game plan and develops it in stages. Below is what was suggested to new coaches to Tee Ball as the stages to develop as the players mature in the game.
Stage 1:
1. All infield fielded balls are thrown to first base (if there is a chance of getting the runner out). Otherwise, the fielder raises the ball above the head to prevent further running.
2. If the ball is not fielded cleanly in the infield, the fielder raises the ball above the head to stop further running.
3. No early attempts should be made to get a runner out at home base.
4. Balls in the outfield are thrown to the nearest infielder who raises the ball above the head inside the diamond to prevent further running.
5. In an attempt to get the runner out, the ball should only be thrown once and then held up. 샌즈카지노 Discourage players from chasing the runner around the diamond and/or throwing the ball after the runner.
Stage 2:
Teach the players about forced plays. Explain that, in a forced play, the baseman needs only to catch the ball and touch the base with the foot to get the runner out. Then, demonstrate to the players on the diamond, when a forced play is on. (This is good coaching both for when players are fielding and being a runner).
Stage 3:
Next double and triple plays should be explained and practised. Also, explain that a double and triple play is possible after a catch is taken.
Once the catch is taken, explain where to throw the ball to get the extra out.
Stage 4:
Teach your players when they need to tag the runner at the base or running past them in the diamond as they field the ball.
In all situations, encourage the fielder to know where they will throw the ball before they field it.
Encourage them to throw the ball for the easiest out e.g. the nearest base or first base if there are two outs.
With outfield hits, teach your infielders to run towards the outfielder to shorten the outfielder's throw. This allows the infielder to get the next throw quickly into the infield to stop the play or get an out.

I have a great tip for you that's going to end all the doubt you had in your mind about golf setup and where the golf ball goes in your stance. It's called ball position.
A lot of amateurs, unfortunately, address the golf ball, what I call, backwards. They come in and they put their feet down and try to aim where they're going, either down the fairway or towards the pin, and then they just stand to the golf club that they're holding onto. Sometimes their golf setup is too far back and sometimes it's too far forward.
Other amateurs do this. They like to play all of their shots off their front foot. Some like to play all their shots off the middle of their stance. But let me tell you something, and I think this is really going to help you.
This weekend if you're sitting around watching TV, watch the tour players and watch how they come up and they grip the golf club first, they take a look at where they're going, and then they stand to the golf club that they're using.
For instance, put the butt of the pitching wedge across from your belt buckle, and stand to the golf club with the face square and your shoulders going where you want them to go.
What that does is put the golf ball in the middle of your stance for your pitching wedge. Now, keep that stance with your 7 iron.
Now, the 7 iron is three inches longer than the pitching wedge. If you just stand there and grip it with your shoulders square, look how the golf ball is just starting to move forward in your stance over towards your left heel, and it's about three inches apart.
Now, pick up your long iron and do the same thing. Keep your shoulders square, don't move your stance, and grip the golf club. And all of a sudden, the long iron starts to move even further forward.
Lastly, watch this. During golf setup, when you hold your driver in your hand. If you just put the butt of the club across your belt buckle, put the club on the ground the way it was built in the factory and stand across from it with your shoulders square, that puts the golf ball across from your left foot.
It's not complicated, but remember this: During golf setup, stand to the handle of the golf club. Don't address the golf ball first, but address the golf club to the ball and then take your stance.
