5-8 Coaching Manual sample page

Description:

Coach - your role this season is to help every player on your team feel comfortable, safe and ultimately develop a passion for the game. This manual will help you provide young players and their parents with a fun, introductory experience to baseball and softball.

The skills pages provide you with a photo sequence of the skill being performed the proper way, extra coaching tips and specific information on how to correct common mistakes. Age appropriate warm-up exercises, a practice planner, coaching checklist and tips on how to get parents involved. You will also find a comprehensive list of activities players can do at practice and at home.

Younger players, ages 5 to 8, typically have a very short attention span and learn best by doing - not by listening. The manual helps you keep players active and eliminate activities where your players are lined up waiting for their turns. (Al, this is close, but the end still sounds a little rough)

Big Al also introduces you to a practical and effective approach called; “TEACH IT-TRY IT-GAME IT”. Implementing this approach will make the coaching experience more fun for you, and will set the stage for your players to succeed.

The information and coaching tips provided in the manual are valuable whether you are coaching first-timers in Tee Ball or players with a bit more experience.

Purchasing this manual entitles you to exclusive online Bonus Resources.

Coach Comments

"Al, I can't wait to take your ideas and suggestions to the ball park this year when I coach my son's little league team for the first time. (7 years old) Actually, as soon as I got home Saturday, he was waiting for me with his glove on. We did the catching wheel together and I taught him, I mean REALLY taught him how to throw a ball. He was always a great thrower but I can tell already how much more power he has when he uses his whole lower body too. Best of luck to you spreading the word around the country that baseball is the greatest game in the world. I'll surely do my part here.
Thanks again - Coach Don
