My DD attends a small high school (13 girls came out for softball). Varsity Coach position had been open since Sept and had not been filled by time season started. I said I would coach so the girls could play this year, but I have zero coaching experience. I played school/ASA ball through 18u and my DD currently plays 18 GOLD, so I have decent knowledge of the game.
When it comes to drills that work on fundamentals (throwing, fielding, catching, hitting) I only know a few. Skill range on the team varies from never played to 18 GOLD. I have two girls who play tournament ball, the rest just play school (2 have never played). I have 2 assistant coaches available to help with practices, 2 bownets, 2 tees, lots of balls and a batting cage. Very small budget to buy additional training aids. Any drills/websites/etc that you could recommend would be greatly appreciated, feeling slightly overwhelmed with the lack of solid fundamentals on the team and teaching them is not my strong suit. THANK YOU!
