I coach little league and I coach third base. I dont agree with his take. I say keep the motion and yelling to a minimum (for kids anyway). The kids get confused enough anyway so why make it worse. Minimize the inputs they have to process. I just point to home (go home), point to the ground at some place between thrid and home (turn and stop here), point to the base (slide), and hold my hands high (stop on base). We run two baselaps during warmups and each kid gets signs.
Career recreational softball player telling us how to coach a base. LOL yeah get down on the ground so when the ball skips past the 3rd baseman it hits you square in the mouth. This is terrible dude. Just terrible
