A Message from Al Herback (LL National Coach) regarding this clinic for Junior coaches:
The following will be the areas covered throughout the 4 hour session. These skills will all be covered in depth at the clinic, but will only be listed for the benefit of you and the coaches and managers who will attend.
- Warm-up.
- Review of hitting, and the introduction of advanced throwing and catching.
- Ground balls to the backhand and forehand.
- Safety and steal lead-offs, returning to a bag on possible pick-off.
- Pitcher set position and balk situations, pitcher pick-offs to 1st, 2nd and 3rd base along with pitcher coverage situations.
- Double plays from 2nd base and shortstop including feeds and footwork.
- Push and drag bunts.
- Infielders 1-2-3 and 4 positions on different situations along with runner responsibilities after scoring.
- I will spend limited time with various pitches.
As the above was normally an 8 hour program, I will do my very best to complete, but thoroughly, as much as possible. The majority of the information will be either in the Playing the Game manual as well as in the Additional Innings programs of Little League Canada. These will both be available at the clinic for purchase if needed.
Thank you so much for offering this to your coaches and managers. It will also be a great session for any interested coaches from the majors and down who may at one point want to coach in the Junior program.
