Coming up with strategies on [tag]how to run a softball practice[/tag] can be challenging for first time coaches. Here is an idea that Cheri sent to me that she found helpful for her own team. Keep ’em coming!
From Cheri…
As a first year [tag]softball coach[/tag] I wasn’t sure exactly what to work on or how to motivate my team so I decided to work with them to create a plan for [tag]softball practice[/tag].
I made each girl fill out a form that asked these 3 questions:
(1) I know I want to work on…
(2) I would like to work on…
(3) my goal for the season is to…
Their answers really helped me to develop a plan for my practices and they feel like they are getting the most out of practice because they are helping choose what we do.
Also, this will help with awards at the end of the [tag]softball[/tag] season to see how many of the girls met their goals! It is a lot of fun to see them grow and it was insightful to see what they wanted to work on! Try it…you might be surprised!
