Coach Tom- Tip of the Week- Aug 13th

On a ball hit to the outfield grass, round 1st base, listen to your 1st base coach and hustle for 2nd base!!! Be thinking 2 at all times!

We are going to be very aggressive on the base paths this fall! Tell your kids tonight, Friday and Saturday morning to hustle out of the batter’s box and get down that baseline. Don’t watch the ball! Get your head down and move it!!!!

Same goes for being a base runner on 1st or 2nd base. We are going to run, run, run. The coaches on 1st and 3rd base are going to be aggressive! If we aren’t hustling and being aggressive as players this strategy won’t be successful. Very important going from home to 2nd, 1st to 3rd and 2nd to home. Let’s take extra bases!!!!

This will be reinforced all year! Hustle and listen to your base coaches. Be ready to take the extra base at all times!

See everyone Saturday morning at 8:30 AM.

Coach Tom
