Hi everyone,
I think I bit off a little more than I can chew. I signed up to help coach my daughter's softball team. I thought that I would be "helping" a head coach or someone that knew what they were doing. As it turns out there is no "head coach" for the team. Its only myself, another dad and a third dad that can only help out during the week. Its an instructional team for girls in 1st and 2nd grade. I know its basically to show the girls the fundamentals but the way they set up the teams we are supposed to practice for 1 hour and then play against one of the other 5 teams for 1 hour. From the vibe I got from the other coaches they know what they are doing and I am sure that the "friendly" games will nonetheless be competitive. We meet on Tue and Sat. I need some direction as far as how to set up practice drills and then the games. I've looked online but all I find are drills and suggestions for older kids that can actually play. I want it to be a fun experience for the girls. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
