Product Description

Games-based drills to end tedium and make practices fun and productive

This handy reference is the solution to every youth baseball coach's worst nightmare: five minutes into an hour-long practice session and the players are bored, distracted, or just standing around. With nine diverse defensive positions plus batting and baserunning to think about, how can a coach keep all the players engaged and progressing at the same time? This coach's tool kit contains the answer. Great Baseball Drills is built around a unique games approach that keeps practices fresh and kids moving and excited. The drills are organized by skill level and position, and each teaches a specific skill or responds to a specific weakness.

Includes:

  • A fun, original games approach to drilling 6- to 12-year-old players
  • 125 simple, skill-building games that keep kids moving
  • A troubleshooting chart that lets coaches easily match drills to problem areas

5 out of 5 stars great book   March 24, 2008
I am only about 1/2 way through the book right now and it is going to make coaching tee ball much easier for me. I wish I could afford to get a copy for my how team of helpers.


5 out of 5 stars Exactly what I needed!   November 4, 2003

I'm going to be managing a Little League team this year, and I haven't done it before. I've found many helpful books but "The Baffled Parent's Guide to Great Baseball Drills" is exactly what I've been needing. This book helps show how to format a practice so that it keeps moving, maximizing your time, while keeping things fun and simple. I have bookmarks and yellow highlighter all over the thing! I'm really glad that I found it. ...God bless to all you coaches out there.


5 out of 5 stars A Unique Approach   March 23, 2002

The Great Baseball Drills book is a unique view on teaching kids the skill of baseball. The drills are fun ways to involve lots of kids and keep them active. Too often one player is pitching, one catching, and one at the plate, while everyone else is waiting to get involved. Not with this approach.
