267.0. "Advice of coaching boys baseball" by SALEM::DODA (Just you wait...) Tue Jun 03 1997 16:24

I'm coaching my son's Rookie League baseball team this summer and let me 
tell you, keeping the attention of a dozen 6 year old boys is a 
challenge. I'm looking into changing to more of a clinic based 
coaching program rather than the standard "game" format. Does 
anyone have any experience with these type of programs. I've 
heard of a program that was developed by the UNH baseball coach.
Any opinions?

Thanks

	We used to play a game called 'work up'. Essentially, everyone rotated through the various positions, with three batters and 9 fielders. As a batter was made out, he/she took the #9 (left field?), and everybody shifted up one fielding position, and the pitcher came up as the third batter. It gives everybody a chance to spend a bit of time in every position, and lets you see where strengths might be. I can give you a bit more detail if you want to contact me. We played this version of baseball endlessly as kids, and would adjust the number of fielders or batters (maybe only two batters and two outfielders) if we didn't have enough players.
