BASEBALL VICTORIA - COACHING ACCREDITATION July 2014 | Page 9

After The Game

Leaving the participants feeling great about the game is the most important aspect of
the coaching duty.
A participant will look forward to their next experience if they feel great about the one
they just had, the opposite is also true and a participant m ay not return if they feel that
they had a negative experience. Coaches should;
Encourage good sportsmanship by shaking hands and complimenting the other team and
umpires
Have a debrief meeting with the team and talk about the positives of the game
Invite participants to say what they learnt or liked.
Discuss the plan for the next game and what will be worked on beforehand
Have the participants thank their fans and parents/caregivers for bringing them to the
game

“The journey around the bases is
different for everyone”
