Even if you both arrive at 5:30 you will not have 30 minutes to discuss. You both will spend 10 minutes getting dressed, and you need to be on the field no later than 5 minutes before game time, so at best you have 15 minutes. Spend 10 minutes discussing mechanics, where you will be, where he will be, and who has the call for as many situations as you can go over in 10 minutes. Give him a chance to ask questions and go over these for the next few minutes. Then spend a minute giving him some advice, specifically 1) be perfectly still when you make any call on the bases, even if it is from a distance and/or from the wrong position (which he may not know he is in) and 2) pause after you see the play, run it over in your mind a second time (ie what did I see?), then make the call. The last minute should be to tell him that you are there for him, if he needs any help. Then, be prepared to make all the calls you see, because you might end up having to make one.
