  • 1) Don't explain the field. Make the home coach explain how to play balls off dugout walls and what not. 2) Ask if everybody is legally equipped. 3) All coaches in dead ball territory, buckets on the concrete. 4) Have a question about a rule, head coach pop out ask for tiime and we'll talk. 4) innings, time limit, 5) Specific quesitons before we start? 6) Encourage sportsmanship 7) anounce game time. 8) Play. 303

  • Forest Hills Little League. lol

  • how serious of a game could it be if there are two girls walking across the field

  • Start off by having the plate conference from the correct side of the plate. This guy is probably well liked in his neighborhood, but no one should use his videos for instruction.

  • I guess this guy is talking mostly little league. at least he is covering his bases

  • What a nerd. Attend a few clinics!!

  • This guy's a complete moron...

  • While incorrect, these videos make my day.

  • Why am I hungry for Mr. Softee ice cream now?

  • Why is this piece of crap a YouTube "featured" video? This person doesn't know the first thing about being an umpire. He is a self-taught idiot.

  • your supposed to exchange line ups too
