same as MLB. The "In-field Fly" rule can be confusing, especially for

The rule is often a point of controversy among coaches, players and
spectators watching the game, often times umpires. Many ask, "what is
the 'In-field" fly rule? When does the "In-field Fly" baseball rule
apply? Here we explain the reason for this rule of baseball, the
situations under which this baseball rule applies, and some additional
info to help coaches and parents of youth baseball better understand

Every hitter has their weaknesses. Perhaps it is a low, outside strike. Maybe they have difficulty with anything off speed, or pitches on the inner half of the plate. When you stop and think about it, the strike zone, from the knees to the letters, ranging from the inner half to the outer half of the plate, is a fairly large area to cover with a 32-34 inch bat. Great hitters understand this, and they discipline themselves to lay off pitches they know they struggle with early in the count.
Successful hitters understand their strengths as well. They understand the pitch they hit the hardest and most consistently. For me, it was the fastball up and in. When I saw this pitch, my eyes lit up, and I was swinging from my heels. What is your best pitch to handle? What pitches give you trouble? These are very important questions you must ask yourself. Once you know the pitches you like and dislike, you are well on your way towards developing a successful hitting plan.

The amount of recruiting resource available to student-athletes can be overwhelming. If you type college recruiting into any internet search engine, you will easily be bombarded with hundreds of different resources aimed at helping student athletes in the college recruiting process. These resources include elite showcases, college camps, summer exposure travel teams, and college recruiting services. However, does the existence of these resources make college recruiting easier to understand? Do all of these services provide each student-athlete with a greater chance of achieving success in the recruiting process compared to past generations when few of these resources existed? Does the cost of these recruiting resources justify their benefits?
While there are certainly a greater amount of recruiting resources available to today’s student athletes, I would argue that their existence has caused greater confusion about the process, in addition to thousands of dollars wasted. Many families are also unclear as to how to properly utilize these available resources, a fact that further hinders student athletes from being successful with this process.
Not only do perspective college recruits and their families need to be educated about the recruiting process in general, but they also need to understand the truth behind all of these recruiting resources and their limitations in order to avoid destructive traps that can take student-athletes off the correct path.

Interference and Obstruction | Little League Interference and or Obstruction
CoachMc writes "One of the most confusing and controversial aspects of baseball is a
situation where a defensive and offensive player either collide or
interfere with each other. We have seen many angry coaches and parents
over not understanding the rules of interference and obstruction in youth baseball.
Also, Many youth baseball umpires do not have full understanding of all
the rules. I'm not sure anyone does. But I would consider youth baseball interference and obstruction a common play occurrence that coaches and umpires should know and be able to explain.

Youth Baseball Drills | Situational Practice Youth Baseball Drills-Cutoffs
CoachMc writes "Youth Baseball Drills | Cutoffs
We should try and split our players into groups for the biggest part of
our practice section. It is much easier for coaches to provide youth
baseball instruction with youth baseball drills with just a few players
instead of the whole team. It is also much better for the players,
they get more repetitions for each skill more quickly and their
attention span is held more easily.

Over Coaching Youth Baseball | Let them play baseball!
coachtrev writes "Most coaches, especially those coaching youth baseball at the younger levels tend to insert themselves into the youth baseball game more than is necessary. We do not have to be teaching or calling all the shots at every opportunity that becomes available. This is what we call over coaching and gives our youth baseball players too much information to process , thus they do not perform to the best of their ability.
The best coaches resist the urge to teach constantly (that is what a coach basically is..a teacher). They especially try to resist during the heat of competition. As youth baseball coaches we should observe, make mental notes, put our observations on paper, then teach during practice. This is the time our kids are best at absorbing and using the information.
