SYLLABLE BASEBALL Purpose: Students will recognize numbers of syllables in select words by running the same number of bases as there are syllables. Suggested Grade Level: K-2 Language Arts SOL: Oral Language K.4, 1.4, 2.4 Equipment/Materials Needed: 1. 4 bases(anything to simulate bases) 2. Multiple words with no more than 4 syllables (see attached words) Advanced Preparation: 1. Set up bases to represent each base Directions: 1. Have students line up at home plate 2. Say or show the first student in line a word. 3. Tell the student to repeat the word and sound the syllables. 4. Explain to the student they are to run the same number of bases and stop. 5. After the student has run the bases, tell the class to say the word together and clap out the syllables. 6. Compare the claps to the number of bases the student ran, providing them with a thumbs up or down for their answer. 7. Give the next person a new word. That student repeats the same process as the first student. 8. The student that was on base also proceeds to run the number of syllables in that word until he or she reaches home plate. (If student 1 had a one syllable word and then student number 2 had a two syllable word, student number 1 will be on 3rd base and student number 2 will be on 1st base.) Teaching Suggestions: 1. If students are playing inside the classroom, have students come up one at a time and either walk, skip, or hop the bases.

First and Third
Cutoffs and Relays • Every player on the field, including the pitcher, has a responsibility and a place to be on every cutoff and relay situation. • The voice commands we use are: We will not say anything if we want the ball to come through to the base we are directing to – we will say the number of the base that we wants the ball “cut and relayed” to (2-2-2,3-3-3,4-4-4) • “Cut” means “cut the ball” and “control the play” • The catcher will direct the play as it develops to home plate. • The third baseman will direct the play as it develops to third base. • On a double, possible triple, the trail infielder will direct the play for the lead infielder. • We want the outfielders to make longer throw and “hit the first cutoff man in the chest.” • Infielders STOP moving when the outfielder picks up the ball. We want the outfielder to throw to a stationary target: open and give with good throws. NEVER jump or short hop relay throw. • All sure doubles, possible triples, with nobody on first base, we line up with a double cut to third. • All SURE doubles, possible triples, with nobody on first base, we ine up with a double cut to home plate. • Trail infielder lines up the play and directs the play. • Infielders must know your outfielders arm strength and position yourself accordingly. • Trail infielder must position yourself to catch a high throw and/or a throw that will short hop the lead infielder so you can catch it on one bounce.

Mt. Airy Baseball Rules Majors: Ages 11-12
______________ ______________ “The idea of community . the idea of coming together. We’re still not good at that in this country. We talk about it a lot. Some politicians call it “family”. At moments of crisis we are magnificent in it. At those moments we understand community, helping one another. In baseball, you do that all the time. You can’t win it alone. You can be the best pitcher in baseball, but somebody has to get you a run to win the game. It is a community activity. You need all nine players helping one another. I love the bunt play, the idea of sacrifice. Even the word is good. Giving your self up for the whole. That’s Jeremiah. You find your own good in the good of the whole. You find your own fulfillment in the success of the community. Baseball teaches us that.” --Mario Cuomo 90% of this game is half mental. --- Yogi Berra Table of Contents A message from the “Comish” ……………………………………… 1 Mission Statement ……………………………………………………… 2 Coaching Goals ……………………………………………………… 3 Basic First Aid ……………………………………………………… 5 T-Ball League ……………………………………………………… 7 Essential Skills Rules Schedule AA League ………………………………………………………. 13 Essential Skills Rules Schedule AAA League ………………………………………………………… 21 Essential Skills Rules Schedule Major League …………………………………………………………. 36 Essential Skills Rules Schedule Playoffs Rules and Schedule…………………………………………….. 53 Practice Organization Tips ..…………………………… ………………….. 55 Photo Schedule ………………………………………………………………….. 65 Welcome to Mt.

Defensive Responsibilities for the Second Baseman
DEFENSIVE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE SECOND BASEMAN Here are the defensive responsibilities at second base: • Cover first base on a bunt. Most bunt defenses have the first baseman crashing. The second baseman must get to the bag quickly and take the throw as if he were the first baseman. • Sprint to back up a play at first base. Get to the foul line behind first base as quickly as possible. • Communicate with the shortstop and the pitcher on the possibility of a comebacker. Either the Shortstop or the second baseman must know in advance who will take the throw from the pitcher on a comebacker (with a runner at first base.) • Change defensive positioning with a runner at first base. Play at double play depth; in three or four steps and over a few steps toward the bag. “Pinch the middle.” • Cover first base on a play at the plate with the first baseman the cutoff. • Be aware that you have priority on pop fouls behind first base. • Communicate with the shortstop with a runner on first base-“yes, yes-no, no.” It is important for the middle infielders to communicate with each other during the course of a game. This situation arises frequently in a game: a runner on first and the hitter hits a ground ball to either the second baseman or the shortstop. The off –infielder must let the fielder know where to throw the ball, either to first base or the easier play at second. If for instance, the ball is hit to the shortstop the second baseman must sprint to the bag in time to give him directions where to throw the ball.

Ripken Baseball Camps and Clinics
Basic Fundamentals of Outfield Play Outfield play, especially at the youth levels, often gets overlooked. Even though the outfielder is not directly involved in the majority of plays, coaches need to stress the importance of the position. An outfielder has to be able to maintain concentration throughout the game, because there may only be one or two hit balls that come directly to that player during the course of the contest. Those plays could be the most important ones. There also are many little things an outfielder can do -- backing up throws and other outfielders, cutting off balls and keeping runners from taking extra bases, and throwing to the proper cutoffs and bases – that don’t show up in a scorebook, but can really help a team play at a high level. Straightaway Positioning All outfielders – all fielders for that matter – must understand the concept of straightaway positioning. For an outfielder, the best way to determine straightaway positioning is to reference the bases. By drawing an imaginary line from first base through second base and into left field, the left fielder can determine where straightaway left actually is. The right fielder can do the same by drawing an imaginary line from third base through second base and into the outfield. The center fielder can simply use home plate and second base in a similar fashion. Of course, the actual depth that determines where straightaway is varies from age group to age group. Outfielders will shift their positioning throughout the game depending on the situation, the pitcher and the batter. But, especially at the younger ages, an outfielder who plays too close to the line or too close to another fielder can 1 create a huge advantage for opposing hitters.

Special Base Running Situations
Special Base Running Situations 1. Situation: The base runners responsibility on the hit and run Some coaches want the runner to shorten his lead and not worry about a great jump. They feel it is the batters job to make contact. Their reasoning is if the batter doesn’t put the bat on the ball the base runner is “hung out to dry”. The base runner should be conditioned that when the hit and run us on he is trying to steal the base. The only difference is after his third step he needs to take a good look at the batter to pick up the flight on the ball and make the necessary reaction. The only true exception to this is for the pitcher that has a great move to 1st base and it is difficult to steal 2nd base. In this situation the base runner breaks to 2nd only when he knows the pitcher is delivering the ball to home plate. If the base runner can’t pick up where the baseball was hit he should look directly at the 3rd base coach. The coach shouldn’t YELL at the base runner, but arm signal him what he wants him to do. For some reason many players loose there sense of hearing when they are running full speed. The coach should point back to 1st base if the ball was hit in the air and he wants him to return, arm circle signal if he wants the base runner to advance to 3rd base, or point to 2nd base if he wants the base runner to stay there.

3 Fielder Drills by Position
3 FIELDER DRILLS BY POSITION 42 Chapter 3 3-1 PITCHER FIELDING DRILLS The pitcher is the fifth infielder covering the middle of the diamond. The highest percentage of batted balls go through the center of the diamond. Hitters are told when they fall behind in the count, shorten the bat and think "middle." If the hitters are thinking middle and are hitting that way, the pitcher must work hard at being that fifth infielder. It is scary to think that the pitcher is only 60 feet from the hitter, consequently, his reaction time to the batted ball has to be better than that of the third baseman. The third baseman's position is called the "hot corner," the pitcher's defensive position probably should be called "suicide alley." In pitching mechanics drills we placed a great deal of emphasis on the pitcher's glove hand and the finish position in the delivery of the ball. The glove hand must be in front and ready for the ball. If pitchers are careless and let their glove hands fly behind them, they are going to get seriously hurt somewhere along the way. Pitching absolutes are: • have good control • keep the runners on 1st base by having a great pick-off move • be an outstanding fielder • concentrate • concentrate some more These "absolutes" can be taught by emphasizing the following drills. P-1. DRILL: TWO MAN PEPPER Purpose: To continually play the ball off the bat. I believe that if it is played properly pepper is the best drill in baseball. Players and Equipment Needed: Two pitchers, gloves, a bat and several baseballs.
