How bout a list of things that could be overlooked before your first game.

1. Such as, be sure to cover ............. coaching points for runners going to from 2nd to home, the trail runner on first going to third with the lead runner on 2.etc etc.

2. Field work checklist for players to be done after the games.

3. ?

Don't press. It is common to want to get that first hit out of the way. Use the same approach.

Two biggest things you need to worry about are

1. Don't forget the equipment
2. Don't forget the players

Might be able to play without the first one if you are playing a nice team but without the second one you are going to lose.

Relax and tell your guys that new jobs and duties may come up as you think of them. Get into a routine about two or three weeks into the season and you will be fine.

Practice signs
Pickoffs
Baserunning
Charts – pitching, defense, …
Bunt defense and offense
Game situations with runners on base (offense and defense)
How are you going to defend the squeeze?
Equipment assignment for home and road games
Player waiver forms for emergencies
