You can do this - and
have fun!!
Dear
Fellow Coach:
Does
this sound familiar? A bunch of parents standing
around chatting during the first team meeting.
Then someone asks the question that everyone
has been avoiding, "So,
who wants to be the coach?"
Silence. Everyone looks at their feet.
Then
you hear a voice say, "Sure, I'll do it."
Hey wait, that's MY voice! What
have I gotten myself into?!

"Having
never coached before, I was terrified
when I volunteered to coach my son's Teeball
team. However after reading and following
the instructions Absolute Beginner's Guide to Coaching Youth Baseball my season became
a great success! I even had veteran coaches
ask me about some of my drills."

The Most Important Tee-ball
Coaching Tip
As
I mentioned earlier, your most important role
is in keeping everybody safe! If you lose every
game but nobody gets hurt, you've had a great
season.
The
most important tip I can give you is to firmly
control
the most dangerous thing on the field... the
bat!
Give a bunch of five-year-olds a bunch of bats
and without rules, it's just a matter of time
before someone gets whacked in the head.
|
So
here is our number one rule!
No
player or parent touches a bat unless
it is handed to you by a coach. Period.

"Other
coaching books I have read were geared
more to older players. The drills and
instructions were too confusing for my
young players. The Coaching Tee
Ball and Tee Ball Drills & Sample
Practices Books are a breadth
of fresh air with easy concepts and easy
to follow diagrams." -

Reviews
from Amazon:
April

"This
book was exactly what I needed as a
first time coach - with zero experience.
It is an easy read with numerous photos
of little leaguers performing the actions
described. It not only covers the basic
rules and offensive and defensive tactics,
but goes into the psychology of what
makes a positive coaching experience
for both the coach, kids and parents.
Most helpful were the numerous examples
of drills for practices. Kids get bored
and distracted easily and this book
gives you numerous tips on keeping them
focused on learning the game and still
having fun."

"Great
book. Help guide our youth to play the
game better. Will use as a reference
many times in the future."

Prior
to reading this book I had only coached
T ball. After this simple to read &
instructive guide I was able to successfully
coach a machine pitch team of young
kids (7 & 8 year olds). The team
I coached ended up with a losing record
but provided a solid instructional format
for practices and a great game day experience
for all the kids & parents. The
skills taugh in the guide to coach is
great for young teams (probably T-ball
through age 10) because if focuses on
coaching the fundamentals & providing
a healthy atmosphere for the kids &
parents. I suggest this guide for any
beginner coach.
