Although the players should know a little more at this level; it’s important to remember that they are still learning the game.

Defensively, players should know how to position themselves in preparation to catch the ball and make a play. At this level we want to start preparing them for middle school softball.

In order to coach, you need to be able to focus on different skill sets and techniques for each position. Need to be able to teach more than just the concept of batting on offense, and the concept of catching and throwing on defense.
