Baseball Coaching PROFILE The Castlegar Sun WEDNESDAY, September 6, 1995 school for the 2 1st century dents were returning to a 50-year-old dilapidated facility. Lifting tile, scarred walls and hopelessly outdated class- rooms greeted bright-eyed children who were eager to learn. But members of the Parent Advisory School (PAC), teachers and administration had plans in mind for the school which many of them had attended themselves as children.

After an enlightening tour of the school Charbonneau refused to commit to funding, but coyly hinted at a forthcom- ing announcement. "I hope to have special news of a good nature in the not too distant future.” Parents, teachers and school officials crossed their fingers. Shortly after that meeting, on Oct. 26, Charbonneau announced that the ministry was dedicating funding towards a new facility much to thé delight of many.

They lost two games in the round-robin, yet they come back and win some great games. Overall, Seminoff felt the 20th anniversary was another great suc- cess.

The workouts begin with calisthenics to stretch out and loosen the muscles, followed by throwing, and finishing with conditioners (i.e. wind-sprints or pick-ups). Throwing: For the first week of pre-season workouts the pitch- er should attempt to throw a little bit every day. They should begin with five minutes of soft-toss the first day and gradually increase to about fifteen minutes of easy throwing after a week. After the first week, a two-day throwing rotation will allow pitchers to throw progressively longer and harder each time, with two days rest between each outing.

Pick-Ups: The players pair-off and stand facing their partner, about six feet apart. The player with the ball tosses it about eight feet to one side of their partner who follows the same procedure and flips it back to the thrower. This is repeated twenty-five times without pausing, then the players switch positions. Two sets of pick-ups after sprints will give pitchers a good work-out. Pitching Control The coach cannot expect immediate miracles from their pitchers, as control is the result of practice which takes time. If the pitchers can develop a good rhythm and a comfortable deliv- ery through practice, the coach should be able to eliminate most of the problems associated with control The coach's ability to detect and correct bad habits developed by pitchers in their delivery mechanics becomes instrumental in helping pitchers overcome these problems. It is essential that the coach thoroughly understand the mechanical concepts of pitch- ing before attempting to correct perceived faults. Some of the more common problems of con- trol are mentioned below, togeth- er with reference to the correct mechanics. Lack of Concentration: The pitcher should pick up their target before winding up and not break that concentration during the delivery. Remind them of this during practices. Throwing across the body: Draw an imaginary line from the push-off foot to the centre of home plate. The striding foot should land four to six inches to the first base side of that line (third base side for left-handers). Poor Follow-Through: Check the weight transfer, and see that the throwing hand finishes in the proper position. This may be exaggerated by having the pitcher touch their shoelace to ensure that they finish low. Aiming the Ball: The pitcher must not let up to get the ball over the plate. They should con- centrate, reach back and throw hard. Control is only effective with good speed on the ball. Rushing the Delivery: Pushing off the rubber without achieving the balance position will usually result in the arm not coming through in time, and loss of rhythm. Be sure the throwing arm is extended back before the weight starts forward. Control will come with good mechanics and practice, and con- fidence will come as a result of using that control successfully.

It will also be fully accessible to students with disabilities. Scattered throughout the building are skylights, wide halls which can double as mini-classrooms for 'messy' activities and windows which lend an air of brightness. Classes are joined by a sliding door allowing teachers to co-teach classes if they so desire. The library is unique in itself—a semi-circular glazed win- dow graces the room. The computer room will house 30 computers. As well each class will have three computers, while the library and office will each have one computer. All computers will be intercon- nected and also networked with other computers within the district. Internet will be available... Entry to the gym, which will be accessible after school hours to the public, is guarded by a sliding and locking gate to ensure security to the rest of the school. Completion is scheduled for Dec. 8. This circular and domed skylight graces a hall in the new school and will allow for plenty of light entry, even during winter months. Above: Security gates will allow the use of the gymnasium by residents while at the same time providing security for the rest of the school. Below: With just over three months until completion, the school begins to take on an identity of its own. Visitors are finally able to picture what the new Twin Rivers Elementary School will look like when finished. jsecesseuscsucs'| jecnccucccual [ecccccnccucccns cuss 4 _ — pam sesescsecsecess |
