  • In Preparation for the Manager/Coach/Umpire Briefing on Friday, August 2, Please Review This Document
    **In preparation for the Manager/Coach/Umpire Briefing on Friday, August 2, please review this document. General Reminders/Ground Rules • Teams will receive their Regional Tournament participation pins prior to their first game in the tournament. • The tournament director will provide line up cards for all games. Line ups for the day’s games must be handed in at the Tournament Office (press box) at least two hours before the game is scheduled to start. Line ups do not become official until handed to the umpire before the game. • For every game, the HOME and VISITOR team designation shall be determined by a coin toss conducted by a tournament staff member with the team manager or his/her designee. Coin flips for games 1-5 will be conducted at the conclusion of this afternoon’s briefing. For games 6- 22, coin flips will be conducted 15 minutes after the second team has been determined. The managers should meet behind the scorer’s booth (behind backstop of D17). If the manger is not present at the designated time, the Tournament Director or Assistant Tournament director will act on his behalf. The home team shall occupy the third base dugout. • Teams may access the playing field one hour before the scheduled game time to loosen up in the outfield. No batted balls by players or coaches during this time in the outfield. If you desire additional warm up time, you will need to use the practice field (both teams will need to share the field). Each team will have 8 minutes of infield practice, beginning about 35 minutes before the start of the game, starting with the home team.

  • Hitting Approach
    Hitting Approach By Scott Brosius With the start of the upcoming season right around the corner, coaches start to spend a lot of time thinking, and in some cases worrying, about their team’s offensive performance. We ask questions such as. “Are we going to hit this year?” and “how can we make these guys better”. Hitting is a huge concern for coaches and we dedicate a lot of time to offense in our practices. So what makes good hitters good? What do they do? What do they think? As part one of a two-part series on hitting, this article will focus on basic hitting approaches while part two will focus on drills and practice work we can do to implement our approach. Why start with approach? Because as coaches we can’t put the cart ahead of the horse when it comes to teaching our players. So many times at the start of the season coaches break out the balls and bats, get their players in a circle, give them a little talk on proper hitting mechanics, then send them in the cages to go to work. Guys will take hundreds and hundreds of swings to master these mechanics, but when the games start they have no idea how to take a quality at- bat. As coaches we need to take a step back and spend some time with our players, before they take their first swing, and provide them with an offensive approach or thought process. And I believe there are 3 simple thoughts all good hitters have in common.
