    How to handle almost entire team showing up late for game?

    It's because they are more worried about the W than teaching life lessons.

    How to handle almost entire team showing up late for game?

    The rules are for everyone. If you decide by how good she is you are not teaching, you are just coaching for the W's. Teach life lessons.

    Is bunting considered "old softball"

    It may not be the coach doesn't know how to teach bunting, many kids don't want to learn how to bunt... they think it's below them. Everyone should be able to bunt even if it's for that one time when the TEAM needs it.

    From Long Island... it is have a catch... along with hero for a sandwich on roll and soda... live in upstate NY now and they say play catch and call it a sub.

    How to Play Softball During a Pandemic

    #7- why doesn't the coach/catcher etc just yell it out for where they are? Please being 6' from the pitcher, player(s), who won't hear what the discussion is, make sure you cover your mouth so they can't read your lips LOL. Think of a 1B or 3B coach telling the runner something from 6' away...

    How Many emails to send to a College Coach?

    Runner on 2nd signaling pitch location to batter

    You might want to change your signs. Use fingers just like u give a sign, i.e. first sign is pitch, the second sign is location and third is a dummy sign. You can change this up by inning or game. Sign stealing is part of the game. Make it so they can't steal your signs.

    Defense, can anybody play anywhere?

    If you ask college coaches they will tell you they want multi-sport players. It gets them away from the game for a bit and cuts down on overuse injuries and burnout. Softball, or any sport, should not become a job. They should enjoy playing it and working to improve.
