What are your best base running tricks or secrets? I know if you tell me they wont be secret anymore but I live in Iowa so you are all safe.

My favorite...
Show bunt on first pitch with a runner on 1st. Watch what bunt defense does. If 3rd charges and no one covers 3, put on a bunt and run with the runner on 1st knowing to look to take 3b. Usually what happens is left field or pitcher tries to cover 3rd poorly, they make an overthrow and we score....even at 14U. Gotta have good bunters, though...
We combat this by having various bunt defenses that I call in different situations.

Pffft... you're in my region, so NO.
No tricks or secrets... just have a solid aggressive but smart baserunning program.
