Why Coach?

There are many reasons why people get involved in coaching softball. Here are a few:

• As parents we want to spend time with our child in an active way;
• as individuals we want to volunteer and get involved in our community;
• as teachers we have taken on extra-curricular school activities;
• as athletes we want to pursue our passion in a different direction and give back to our community;
• as fans we simply love sport and want to give coaching a try.

But what does a coach do?

A softball coach strives to do the following:

• Encourage young athletes to be active and to have fun;
• plan purposeful practices and create engaging activities;
• lead their participants in developing gross motor skills;
• help participants identify how to improve their performance by providing constructive criticism and advice;
• manage problems by making ethical and respectful decisions
• enable safe participation by creating a safe environment
• teach others how to respect themselves, others, and their sport.

In short, when you become a coach, you help others reach higher, both in sport and in life!
