New Coach? No Sweat, we got you covered...
First we want to say thank you for considering a Coaching position in LCYB. Coaches are the backbone to the success of this organization. This is a task that requires organization, commitment and integrity. Many new coaches get overwhelmed at the start of the season because there is a lot of boxes to check to get started, but don't worry, we want to help you get the big picture so you can start planning. Here are some things to think about when you get started:
Coaching Clinic - Before the season starts we will host a coaches clinic. This is in tandem with the high school and the university. We share ideas about practice planning, the purpose of a youth coach and how to set levels of attainable expectations. This is where you will begin to figure out the organization part of the task.
Mandatory Coaches Meeting - this is a catch all meeting that will begin to outline the specifics of the league. Here we will cover ideas like:
- Introduction of Board Members
- Expectations
- Local and League Rules
- Bat Regulations
- Tryout Information and Process
- Draft Information and Process
- Practice Details
- Scrimmage Opportunities
- Score Keeping Details
- Pitch Count Details
- Uniforms
- Concession Opportunities
- Fund Raising Opportunities
- Post Season Discussion
Sounds like a lot, because it is a lot, but with a little heads up and planning, it is manageable. Stay tuned to our website for all the latest updates and details as the time progresses.
