I had asked about a chart on tendancies that I could have a bench player record. The chart would be posted in the dugout for all players to see and quickly identify areas we can take advantage of. My hopes are to get the whole team eventually checking for these. I was then asked to post what I came up with. Here is the work in progress. Please let me know if you see something missing. I used it in coaching a summer Babe Ruth team. It has a ways to go, but it got the kids asking questions and made for some great lessons. I'm not sure how it will copy over. If it doesn't go well I can email it out. (clabeots@baraboo.k12.wi.us):
