Beginner Baseball page2Beginner Baseball Winning SkillsPlay Under Control---Always Be AlertBeginner baseball playing should include stressing two definitive playing ability and savvy which should be considered as being of the utmost importance for youngsters just getting started in this game.
Oh but you say those are not skills. Maybe not but if we treat them as beng skills that need to be practiced practiced and practiced then later we will find they were significant keys in making that baseball player into a real winner.
As young boys and girls their body strength and control is not yet fully developed. This is no license to ignore the fact that their habits and training on this aspect of playing is not important. If you but emphasize it enough they will learn that it is of significant importance faster than a cat can lick it's whiskers. Here is a helpful hint to show beginning players the idea you are trying to teach. Have them run from first base to second base as fast as they can and to stop when you holler "stop". They cannot stop without over running the base. Point this fact out to them and soon they will recognize they need to control their stop. There are many other techniques that can point out the need to play under control.
Tell them and show them how to move quickly but not hurried. The difference is significant in being quick or being in too big a hurry.Teach them that sometimes haste makes waste. Beginner ball players learn quickly so hold back no punches.
Teach that anytime they are on the baseball diamond that it is imperative to be wide awake and heads up at all times. This is rule no.1 for safety sake and secondarily it will develop a sense of importance to always know what’s happening when the ball is in play. This "mental game" of staying focused and "being into the game" is an absolute and without question important at all levels of baseball. Even Major Leaguers will at times fail to keep their thoughts and head into the game. The little league baseball rule book maybe should consider having a notation for coaches: "When a player is not alert and paying attention in a game it would be best to send in a substitute."
Good ball players are keenly aware of everything that is going on while he is out on the field and also all throughout the game.
These are some examples but more significant is the forming of good habits as a beginner baseball player by always being alert heads up and being ready to play.
