One out, runners on first and second, ground ball to the 3rd-baseman--what are his options? Step on 3rd to get the lead runner or throw to second to start a double play or just throw to first to get the hitter.


Two outs, bases loaded, ground ball to the first baseman, what should he do? Step on first to force the runner or throw to either the pitcher or second baseman covering first to force the runner at first for the 3rd out.


You're the runner on third base with 1 out, the batter hits a fly ball to the left fielder--what should you do? Take a step or two off of the base, make sure the left fielder catches the ball, after he secures the ball tag the base and run home--this is "tagging up."


Base hit into the left/center field gap, you're the second baseman, what is your responsibility? The second baseman should be covering second and lining up the shortstop/cutoff man with second base.


Base hit into the right/center field gap, you're the shortstop, what's your responsibility? The shortstop should be covering second base and lining up the second baseman/cutoff man with second base.


You're the runner on second base with 0 outs on a fly ball to left/center field--what should you do? Take a few steps off of the base toward third, determine whether or not the ball will be caught, if it's caught go back to second and tag up--if you think you can beat the throw to 3rd base, take off! If not, stay put.


You're the runner on first with one out and a sharply hit ball to the shortstop--what should you do? You should be running hard to second base on anything hit on the ground--expect to slide into second because if you go in standing up you can be called out by little league rule.


Right handed batter, runner on first base with no outs--who's covering second base on the steal? The second baseman covers second base when a righty batter is up.


Slow roller down the first base line between the pitcher and the first baseman that the first baseman fields, who's covering first? Generally, when the first baseman charges to field a ball the second baseman covers first base.


Who is responsible for calling out the number of outs and the situation? The catcher is responsible for keeping the infield and outfield aware of the number of outs and situation (play to first, double play, etc.)

Should volunteer coaches go through training to coach the youth in recreational leagues? YES

Statement of Problem My research question concerns youth sports and what I have witnessed in the youth sports world. Should volunteer coaches go through training to coach the youth in recreational leagues? This impacts youth at all levels and concerns everyone in the sports community for various reasons. Reasons include safety, skill set, social and emotional, and sportsmanship. I have been coaching in the recreational youth sports community since 2003. I have firsthand witnessed volunteer coaches berate referees and officials, belittle children on their playing skills, and not know how to teach basic skills in the sport that they are coaching.  Review of the Literature The vast majority of youth sport programs in the United States relies primarily on parent volunteers to serve as coaches. Unfortunately, most of these volunteer coaches have not received formal training to prepare them adequately for the role of youth sport coach. To exacerbate the issue, according to the popular media,

Full Body Exercises!

 Below you will find some of my favorite full body exercises, they just require space to complete them!  Alternating split-squat jump The alternating split-squat jump is not for beginners. This exercise is very demanding and requires a strong base before attempting. After performing a few reps you will feel like you ran wind sprints.

While building strength this exercise is also good for cardiovascular endurance. You might consider this exercise if you are cross training. Description Stand with your feet staggered about 18 to 24 inches apart, front and back. Jump up and while in the air quickly switch legs forward and backward. Land and absorb the impact softly by bending both legs until the back knee is about an inch from the ground. Keep your chest up and maintain good posture throughout. The front knee shouldn't move too far past the toes. Mistakes
