Is this Julie in Fallston ?

Suggest the following:
1) Establish a Bear Goal every time out:
(such as)
a1) 100 Swings
a2) 100 Throws
a3) 100 Ground Balls

2) Play FUN Game (& keep score).

3) Finish w/ 16 "Bases Running" Drill

4) End w/ 2 min "Coach Guidance Speech

Bonus: Always Bring Bear something to eat !

The concept is:
- Kids Stay Active at Field
- Continued Repetition
- On Job Training
KIDS Do all the fun Work
DADDY"S Monitor and do very lil Talking
Head Coach keep Time Management
Head Coach 'Dictates and Commands'
Safety.
Make Sure it's No / Low Fat
(My LDL Receptor Genes need rest)
