The players remember this and after a couple of practices, you will notice the difference with players arriving early to get a good number. Another technique I use is to start practice with a mini batting practice even before warm ups. After you do this a few times, you'll notice the players arriving early and telling you that they go first. Do not use these techniques every practice or they will lose their appeal. It is important to realize that practices, especially early in the season, will set the tone for a successful and fun season.
Kids take notice when the coach arrives early and organized.
Use these two techniques to get your players to arrive on time. They both work, as I have been using them for twelve years. Marty Schupak has coached youth baseball for 14 years. If you would like information on purchasing the video, click here . Coach Schupak can be reached by email .
