As a Tee ball Coach, one of the biggest problems
you may face on the field is swarming. That is, once the ball is hit,
ALL your tball players will rush towards the ball and wrestle each
other for it.
To prevent swarming, set-up designated zones
that each player is "allowed" in. Cones can be used to set-up these
zones. If the ball enters a player's zone he/she is allowed to field
it.
If the ball is not in their zone, then the
t-ball player
should cover their base or position awaiting a throw.
After practicing this drill a number of times
you should see a dramatic decrease in swarming.
