At around 12, there needs to be a better understanding of the different levels of ability, and a better way for coaches and parents to understand the difference between rec level play, and tournament/travel baseball. Some competitive coaches forget , at too young of an age, that it is more than baseball to the kids. If you coach kids, you should not forget the big picture! If some kid between 6 and 14, has not been exposed to the game, don't call yourself a coach if you can't teach them the basics of hitting, throwing, fielding and catching! Coach them and bring their ability level up, instead of playing god and running them away from the game.That's why there are good books and reference materials to help learn the thinking part of baseball. Amazing Baseball Tips..., A Guide To Youth Baseball And Softball For Coaches, PLayers, And Parents,(www.amazingbaseballtips.com) is a good book for new coaches and young players to learn more and shortcut the challenges that new coaches face. This will help them avoid the wrenches and problems that some other coaches and parents bring to the field!!!Tim Knousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06002585794678035224noreply@blogger.com
