I also have a 10u rec team for my youngest dd, ...
Normal. Try to run a scrimmage at the end of practice or dedicate an entire practice to a scrimmage. Otherwise, repetition, repetition, repetition.
I used to let the players play an "unorganized" game of kickball before practice officially started. It was amazing to see how aggressive they became at base running and how they translated it to softball. If it started to get outta hand, I stepped in and asked them questions about how it related to the game of softball and why you would or wouldn't to do it that way.
It is also helpful to have someone in the dugout during the game that will talk to the kids about what is going on on the field. It helps, especially when you are playing a good team and your team is on offense and that person can explain the game. Sometimes the "dugout coach" spends to much time just watching the game and not explaining the game to the players.
It is also a good idea to have the girls watch a game as a group. It can just be an older age groups game. They need to pick a player that plays the same position. Tell them up front to be able to tell you what that person did well, if there is something that they could do better. You have to sit with them and guide them through a couple of innings of the game. Otherwise they will make multiple trips to the bathroom or concession stand. ;-)
Sometimes the quickest way to learn is to make mistakes. . .
Those are good ones Eric. For our 10U rec I told them at the beginning of year some of the goals I want for ALL the girls on the team -
Be able to make the throw from 3rd to 1st w/o bouncing it.
Learn how to bunt.
Be aggressive and go up looking to hit the ball and not go up looking to walk.
Be able to field ground balls including back hands and short hops.
Be able to slide in a game.
I think I had a few others but those were some of the basics I wanted them all to learn. I don't think we've hit out on 100% as I still have 1 girl who looks to walk and several who won't bunt or slide. But we've come close on most of them by season end and did hit out 100% on the throwing and fielding part.
