A good read for the beginner baseball coach July 19, 2008
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.
Great starter guide for the clueless! April 22, 2007

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.
