real green posted:If he really loves the game he needs to ask to talk to the JV coach ASAP. He needs to let the coach know he plans to continue to work on his game and will be back again next year. Have your son prepared for the meeting. Armed with a set of questions and comments.
Him: Hi coach, thanks for taking the time to meet with me.
Coach: No problem what can I do for you?
Him: I wanted to let you know I really enjoy baseball and will continue to work on my game. I plan on trying out for JV next year and hope I can be a part of your fall ball program.
Coach: That shouldn't be a problem and I am glad to hear you plan on staying in the game
Him: Great, what do you think I need to work on to make the team next year?
Coach: We can always use another bat. Spend some time on your hitting and get in the gym.
Him: Thanks coach, good luck this year!
Coach: Anytime, I look forward to seeing you next year.
This will be a big step to making the team next year. Of course, he still has to show some progress come next spring. So get to work!
I don't think he needs to talk to the coach — just read this post. LOL.
