The New Baseball Score Book & Score Board –
A Legitimate Scoring Method for Kids
The problem with youth baseball is that you can play an entire game and not record some of the most important moments. As a result, huge opportunities are missed when you don’t record each individual’s performance moments during the course of a game. The traditional methods of scoring youth baseball games need to be changed. Youth Evolution Sports has created the new baseball scorecard that will improve and make everyone’s experience a better one, through a legitimate scoring method for kids.
How many times do kids feel disappointed with a final score that is in no way indicative of how they actually performed? Kids play sports to have fun, be with their friends, and to experience improvement. If you don’t capture moments for kids to celebrate and learn from you’ll most likely lose their attention and interest in the game. For a sport that prides itself on stats, it’s time to begin to score the game with a method that more accurately tracks everyone’s performance, provides better feedback for coaches, and engages every player throughout every game and the entire season.
The emphasis placed on all the different position specific scorecards are the basic executions of fundamentals for example the batting scorecard rewards points for making contact with the ball (1 point for foul balls), an accomplishment for many kids and sometimes extremely important when keeping alive at bat. The same holds true for pitchers. Points are rewarded for first pitch strikes, 0 & 2 counts, strikes, balls put in play, etc.
How to Use the Scorecard:
During the course of a game have someone track and mark down each time one of the fundamentals is achieved. Simply designate a mark under each execution and count the total number of marks at the conclusion of the game and multiply by the designated points assigned to fulfilling each fundamental. For example if an infielder successfully fields a ground (worth 1 point) 3 times during the course of a game place three marks in that box and multiply by 1 for total score of 3 points.
The scorecard serves not only as a way to provide more excitement and sense of accomplishment during each game but it also provides a way to gage progress from game to game in the execution of specific fundamentals. By using this system of tracking fundamental executions over the course of an entire game and season you will find that not only do kids begin to focus more on their fundamentals, but you’ll be able to more accurately provide feedback in the correct areas.
