You need to teach your base runners when to advance and when to remain at a base. As coach, it's your job to make sure your base runners are aware of force plays and tag-up rules. Cover these rules during practices that focus on baserunning tactics.

Here are the key points to focus on when teaching your players baserunning tactics:

  • Watch the pitcher.
  • Listen to and watch the base coach.
  • Don't run unless forced.
  • Stay close to base and tag up on fly balls.
