SkyjunkySean 0 #27 May 23, 2007 have your kid sit cross legged, indian style, lotus , whatever you wanna call it, whicever leg is underneath, lean him back & toward that side , this will be his underneath or (trailing) leg. the little league coach has some good ideas however teaching him to slide on his butt will most likely end up in bruised butt &/or bitten tongue. have your son either keep a handful of dirt ineach hand or clench his batting gloves , this will prevent broken fingers ( by trying to catch himelsf. PRACTICE ON GRASS!!!. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT BASES YET! just have him run the (I assume 60 ft.) base path then have him throw his legs out. trailing leg under him. till he gets it...he will...quickly. also do this in old jeans...they are tougher & will help the lessen the likelyhood of a nice raspberry. (I was a catcher for 15 years, high school coach, nsa c div fast pitch western states champ) hope that helps, Sean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #28 May 23, 2007 My younger brother was often scared of physical contact as a goalie in soccer. So I practiced with him and subjected him to numerous high-speed shots. I let him know that if he stopped a goal and splattered his face in the process, it was better than allowing a goal and being unhurt. A couple of weeks later, he slid for a ball and took a kick to the ribs. "Hey, Jer! M ribs really hurt! But I made the save." I smiled, and so did he. I like to think I taught him a valuable lesson.

popsjumper 2 #30 May 23, 2007 Don't forget the "spikes high". Shortstops and second basemen do not like high spikes. SS and 2nd basemen need to be trained right off the bat...you're comin' in with high, hard spikes. Ty Cobb was my high-spikes hero. Pete Rose was my head-first hero.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
