let the games begin...

- The snow seems to be long gone in the Chicagoland area allowing for kids
to begin playing the parks. More specifically hitters are taking batting
practice... pitchers are loosening up... coaches are running drills...
parades are mapped out and planned... and well, I just order my
cushion seat for coverage at various games this season... What makes a great baseball or softball player? To put it simply a combination of skill and smarts as well as recognizing every position has a duty. We prepared a simply to chart to illustrate this - click here. Little League founding principles are based on three simple character traits COURAGE - CHARACTER - LOYALTY, that we as coaches are expected to instill in the young people under our leadership. COURAGE… is providing every player with an opportunity to play and contribute to your team in the face of pressure to win. It doesn’t take a lot of courage to pick 7-8 of your most talented and skilled players and play them every inning of every game and leave the rest of the playing time to your weaker players. It takes courage to give every player on your team regular opportunities to start and more importantly to play complete games during the season.
CHARACTER…
is stepping up to support and be positive with your
players when things aren’t going well. Any coach can
look good when the team is winning and everyone is
happy. Coaches, your true character shows up when a
player on your team makes an error in a key
situation or when the umpire makes a call that
doesn't go your way during a critical part in the
ball game. You are the key. Show your COURAGE - CHARACTER - LOYALTY as you mentor our youth |
We wish everyone the best of luck and safety this season.
