Coaching Staff Corner
Coach and Manager Corner
Welcome!
The Coach and Manager Corner is dedicated to all the coaches and managers who volunteer their time and energy to RGFPSL program. Our goal is to help you succeed in your efforts to teach the game of fastpitch softball to your players and provide them with a positive environment in which to play the game. The information provided on this page is just a small part of the instructional and support materials available to you. Contact your division representative or any other softball board member to find out more.
Code of Conduct
Our players, parents and others involved with the RGFPSL have a right to expect our volunteers to conduct themselves in a manner that reflects well on our organization and all who participate. Our
Coaching Staff Code of Conduct
reflects those high expectations.
It is the duty of the coaching staff to ensure all parents have signed the
Parent and Spectators Code of Conduct
. This documents embodies the league's philosophy.
The duties of the coaches and managers are many but the memories built during that season of softball will last a lifetime. Here is a list of
manager's duties
. Please direct any questions to your division reps - they are here to help!
Practice Organization
It's very important to run a well-organized, productive practice. Practice organization is the key to your success. Before your team hits the field, you must have a good idea of how you want to run your practice and the skills you want to cover.
You only have the girls for a short period of time. Get the most out of that time by preparing a practice plan and getting volunteers to help you run the drills that will sharpen your players' skills.
Remember to Keep It Positive!

and a
practice plan template
.
Here are some additional
practice plans
for various age groups.
Elite Athlete Consulting
is another source for practice ideas.
This is a
lineup template
. The b
est way to use it is to enter your lineup first then use the drop downs to set defensive positions for each inning. This is a good tool to preplan a lineup to ensure every player gets some infield and outfield time as well as make it easier to position kids every inning without scrambling.
Drills
The best way to keep players excited about coming to practice is to change what you do from one practice to the next. Create excitement with some games that are fun, but also help teach the fundamentals they will need to execute in a game.
For some ideas on how to keep things fun and educational for the girls check out
Elite Athlete Consulting
.
And don't forget to check out YouTube for some great videos on drills!
