1 chapter 9 Season Plans We hope you have learned a lot from this book: what your responsibilities are as a coach, how to communicate well and provide for safety, how to use the games approach to teach and shape skills, and how to coach on game days. But game days make up only a portion of your season you and your players will spend more time in practice than in competition. How well you conduct practices and prepare your players for competition significantly affects both your and your players enjoyment and success throughout the season. In this chapter, then, we present three season plans: one for 8- to 9-year-olds, one for 10- to 11-year-olds, and one for 12- to 14-year-olds. Use these plans as guidelines for conducting your practices. These plans 157
2 158 Coaching Youth Baseball are not the only way to approach your season, but they do present an appropriate teaching progression. Remember to incorporate the games approach as you use these plans. The season plans have two components: the first is purpose and the second is tactics and skills. By purpose we mean the overarching objective of the particular practice the main focus of that practice. Tactics and skills refer to the specifics you will be teaching or refining during a practice in order to meet the purpose. Good luck and good coaching! Season Plan for 8- to 9-Year-Olds Many 8- to 9-year-olds have had little or no exposure to ball. Don t assume they have any knowledge of the game.
