The Coach's Corner was created to provide a place to
communicate the wealth of information available to the
Burlington Little League through the knowledge base inside
the mind of a really great asset we call "Coach Bartlett"!
communicate the wealth of information available to the
Burlington Little League through the knowledge base inside

It was difficult to place all the great information provided
here - it can't all be first - make sure you check it all out!
here - it can't all be first - make sure you check it all out!
With the season getting underway, here's a checklist of sorts that
you can use to highlight your expectations for your players and
their families; and a list of what they can expect from you as a
coach. Use this information at your initial team meeting to properly
set the stage for the upcoming season.
WHAT I EXPECT FROM MY PLAYERS?
* to be on time for all practices and games,
* to always do their best,
* to share team duties,
* to be cooperative,
* to respect themselves and others,
* to have a positive mental attitude,
* to always be positive with teammates,
* to accept that they'll make mistakes, but to keep their emotions
in check and stay focused,
* to accept that winning and losing graciously is an important part
of any sport.
WHAT I EXPECT FROM FAMILY MEMBERS
* to come and cheer all the players on and make them feel important,
* to allow me, the coach, to run the team,
* to recognize that I'll make mistakes, just like the players,
* to set a good example of respect for the players, the coaches, and
* the umpires by not yelling out negative comments and by being good
sports,
* to call me privately if you have a concern, and never question my
leadership in front of the players,
* to offer help when needed,
* to accept team assignments willingly.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ME
* to be on time for all practices and games,
* to be as fair as practical on playing time,
* to do my best to teach the fundamentals of baseball,
* to be positive and respectful of each individual player,
* to set reasonable expectations for the season,
* to teach the value of winning and losing graciously,
* to be open to ideas, suggestions, or help,
* to set a good example of respect for the players, the fans, and
the umpires by handling confrontations in a dignified manner.
These are just a few thoughts to get you started. I'm sure there are
a few other things that could be listed. I think it's very important
to set the expectations up front, because it could help you avoid
potentially ugly confrontations later.
