Year 2 summary, things to work on

Hello. Well, this year was a gross disappointment, which ended in a sound trouncing at the hands of Delasalle, a private catholic school in Minneapolis.

I could whine about the lack of dedication of some of our better players, or the lack of experience of many of our players, but rather, I will list things that my staff and I need to work on and develop.

So here goes:
PITCHING!!! Along with inconsistent attendance, this kind-of-important skill really killed us. I need to allocate more time, especially in the first 2 weeks, to this area.

Skill-sets for every practice that the kids can do on their own. These will also be done before games.

Preach to the kids: YOU GOTTA LOVE BASEBALL!!! Be dedicated to your teammates and YOURSELF!

New fundraiser.

Get grounds to raise the mound, and give me new bases.

Positives:
Our Hitting was pretty good. We're VERY young. Good future? We'll see.
