    Is there a good way to teach infield to safely get runner interference call?

    Thanks for the great reply. I probably should've worded my question better and I definitely don't want to do anything that would result in an injury. Sounds like the way to go is to make an attempt and hold up to avoid collision. Besides being a 16u coach, my sophomore daughter is starting...

    Is there a good way to teach infield to safely get runner interference call?

    I manage a rec 16u team (technically, 13 to 16 Little League Seniors division). The teams in our league consist of some high school players, some travel ball players and some long time rec players. It is comparable to a C level travel team. The instinct of so many infielders is to just stand...

    No "league play" that I am aware of. We have LL that goes through 16 year old, TB and school. Unfortunately her high school team (she is a freshman) couldn't get enough girls out to field one full team. Super sad.

    I'm on the board for our local LL. LL baseball has been in our area sine the 50's. They started a softball program in 2019. That is when I got involved as a coach, then a year later was invited on to the board. What we started in the second year of our program to create a better game...
