DIY sliding mat
I coach a 12u team and want to work on sliding. I worked on it a bit last year and had the girls slide on cardboard. It worked ok but many of the girls were still pretty apprehensive and one girl ended up flopping down on her butt a little too hard and bruised something. I felt horrible about...- expeklaha

Do you coach for speed?
Do you do any drills or spend any time on teaching your girls to run *faster*? DD was stealing 2nd yesterday. The catcher was pretty decent and almost threw her out. If you asked her if she was running at top speed I bet she’d say yes. But I’d describe it as a fast jog. Like, 85% of top speed...- expeklaha

How to increase infield communication?
I coach a 10u rec team. It's fall ball and it just started so most of these girls don't know each other, which is a factor. Beyond some team bonding exercises, any thoughts on how to increase communication and general (constructive) chatter on the field? I'm pretty vocal and I'll "quiz" the...- expeklaha

Obstruction advice
When you're teaching the kids about obstruction (as it relates to them as a baserunner) - what do you teach and how do you teach it? I coach a 10u rec team. Last game I had a girl on 1b, two outs, and the batter hit a pop fly that drew the pitcher, SS, second baseman, and right fielder into my...- expeklaha
