Goals of our Coach Pitch division:

• "Mastering" Coach Pitch is more that just being able to hit the ball off a pitch. 
• ​Players should learn rules of the game and:
  • Offensive - beginning to know how to read a Ball vs a Strike pitch; multiple base running; stealing on a passed ball; listening to the coach; knowing when to run & when not to run; learning how to hit the ball harder and farther with the right body mechanics.
  • Defensive - learning how to play different positions; mastering the mechanics of: fielding the ball on the ground, catching the ball in the air, throwing accurately to a base, and successfully catching a thrown ball from another player; knowing when to throw the ball, when to hold the ball; and concepts of getting the lead runner out.
• The player should be proficient with the above and had enough practice opportunities in games to display these attributes before moving up to Kid Pitch.
