How long does a typical practice last for you? We've had 5 practices so far out of 8 and they only last 1.5 hours. We have 3 girls who I would say are our weakest. Two of them either show up late or don't show up at all so it's hard to get them where they need to be. The third is at every practice, but she is absolutely terrified of the ball. She steps out of the way when trying to catch it, and if she's fielding it she waits for it to come to a complete stop before picking it up. What are some things I can do to try and help her not be so scared of the ball?
Our better players put 150% in to every practice that we've had. They talk to each other in the infield and they are all very aware of what's going on. My outfielders that I've had practice in the infield just don't pay attention. They're more interested in playing in the dirt or throwing their gloves in the air.
I am pretty happy that they all are decent batters. Our weakest batter has improved tremendously and I couldn't be more proud of her. She was so eager to learn how to hit properly, I just wish she had that same fire to learn how to field. I don't know what I need to do to spark it in her.
