They are really short on coaches this year. My husband must have been half asleep when he went to register our oldest for t-ball .... he is now a coach and has made me assistant coach. :jameo:

Let's fit this in w/ Tae Kwon Do, Fire House Aux, work and our youngest son! :faint:

Good for you and your husband for steping up. As a long time coach and former board member in a different league I will tell you it is hard to find people to step and coach a team.

I coach much older kids (baseball) 13-14 year olds. I was done after last year because my boy started highschool and would be playing ball for them, but a bunch of the kids and their parents called me and said they wanted to play but only if I coached. So Here I am getting ready to start another season while trying to balance daughters soccer, youngest boys soccer oldest boys highschool ball.

Some day I will find some time for myself but at this moment i cant think of anything I would rather do!!!!!!!!

That's really selfless and generous of you. My kids don't play baseball, but thank you for volunteering.

My son got placed on a team without a coach for CSA. Luckily, somebody stepped up and is willing to coach so that the kids will be able to play. :clap:

Try to stick to very basic stuff ie. base running, proper throwing motion, and proper swing. But most of all for this age make sure every kid has a blast and feels like a super star no matter their skill leval!!!!!!

I have alot of coaching material and vidios if you want them they are yours.

When my oldest played t-ball, the kids were more interested in playing in the dirt than actually playing t-ball. :lol: My youngest didn't want to play t-ball this year and opted to play soccer instead.

That is the trouble baseball is a slow game and the younger kids get distracted very easy. I found it better to have games within the game. Like the person who stays in the ready position and pays attention the best each inning gets a piece of gum when they come in the dugout. when sitting in the dug out I would have them do chants to cheer on the batter.

At times I wish I was still doing that age, the older they get bigger PITA they become.

Most of the kids on my son's team were 4-5 yrs old. The coach expected more out of them than I think they were capable of. I did like the fact that the "rules" were out the window and the goal of the games was about having fun and letting the kids have as many chances as they needed to hit the ball off the tee and run the bases.

My hubby offered to coach T-Ball when we signed up our 5 year old son. They just called him to confirm that they do need him. Do you have anymore helpful tips for a 1st time T-Ball coach? I really liked your idea of the gum and chants.

CSA Schedule

This is our first time doing CSA. We normally just had our son in the Fall CCPR soccer program. Is it normal that games are played on Sundays and that sometimes they skip a week and don't have a game on the week-end? Or they have back to back games (Sat and Sun)? I was just putting the game schedule on our calender and there's actually a two week gap between games. Just wondering. I'm quite pleased that all but one of his games is in the afternoon since they are at Hallowing Point Park which is about 30-35 minutes from our house. There were times with Fall soccer that we'd have to be up, fed, dressed and over there by 9am.

New Game Schedule

If you have a child playing soccer with CSA, better go to the website and check out the new game schedule. They rearranged it to make up for the rained out games last week-end. I just happen to look today and saw that we now have games on Saturday and Sunday.

League Schedule

** They even changed some of the times of regularly scheduled games so look closely!!!

My son is also playing soccer on CSA this year. I think the only weekend with no games is due to the Easter Holiday. It looks like every other weekend has one or two games.

What age group is yours on? My oldest is U9 and my youngest is U6. The younger kids don't start until the middle of this month so I'm hoping once we get their schedule, we won't have any conflicts.
