I have a lot of insight on how to organize a little league baseball team because my husband has played in many different sports and have coached a few as well.He says to organize a little baseball team you start with a lot of planning.You have to plan for successful plays and players.You meet with your team before every game and you tell them what they did wrong in the previous game and how to correct that play.You give them encouragment and stamina.You drill them on how to believe in themselves and in the sport and how to be successful in it.

A good coach is patient,caring,stern,encouraging and suppotive and is always there for his team.You have to have the team practice often and concentrate on what they are playing and what they are doing.They have to love what they are doing and want to do it if they want to be successful with it.It helps also to have the coach and the parents show how proud they are of a player when he achieves something,or improves on anything and esppecially when he wins the game,You have to let the team know that you want them to do their best to win but the main important thing is that they did their best,so win or loose you are proud of them if they did their best.

You have to make sure the team excercises and keeps in shape and focused on the game.When you choose the players very carefully.You look for a good arm on a pitcher,a good eye on a catcher,they all need to be good runners and have good coordination. You have to be sure that the players know it is important to have a fair game,not to cheat or make moves that are against the game rules.A player should have good nature and be a good sport when he or his team looses.They need determination to win.They need to know the difference in life on the feild and off the feild.They should have good temperment and know they are an important part of their team and are needed and depended upon to make their team successful.Every player is as assentual to the team as every body part is to your body.

The players need to know that they have to be dependable to be at their practices and plays and to take good care of their equipment.The players need backup and support from their parents, friends, teachers and other players on their team. A player will play harder and better if they know someone special to them and important in their lives are watching them play.Remember,these are children and need lots of encouragment and support and help to be their very best.
