Coach's - Please prepare yourself and your teams on how you will be presenting your specific skill.Keeping in mind you only have 10-15 minutes at the start of each Blastball Session in which to get this accomplished. - Identify yourself and communicate with the Blastball Directors (Maureen & Alison) prior to your session so as things run smoothly phoning them ahead of time would be even more beneficial - Assist the Dir. and their Blastball coaches during their games portion. -Close out session by re-adressing your newly taught skill. - Assist your players in seeing that the field gets raked - You will notice a progression in the skills, please keep your skill as specified and use the prior weeks skill as a recap - Remember that your players MUST wear their uniforms and of course coach's are to be in proper decorum as well -If you require help with presenting any of the above dont be afraid to ask,i'd love to help you out and can be reached at 438-8910 Stevemccann24@hotmail.com or can be usually found at the park
