New Coach

[softbllmom]

As a lurker reading up on the rules I would like to say thank you. This is my first year coaching a youth girls fast ball team and its been tough. This has been a learning experience for myself and all the girls on my team. When I said I would do it no one bothered to tell me I would be given 12 girls that have never played as opposed to the other teams that have been playing for years. Teaching them how to throw the ball and catch it was my main concern just teach them the fundamentals. Im trying to keep the girls spirits up trying to make practices as fun as possible but I am afraid they are getting to discouraged.Scores of 28 to 3 and 21 to 2 arent helping. Any Ideas on how I can build there confidence? They have improved so much since the first practice. Ive got them stealing and we are working on sliding. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You
