Amazon.com Review
When signing his eldest son up for Little League baseball, Ned McIntosh was told he'd have to find a coach if he wanted his son to play. So McIntosh stepped up to the plate and, with little guidance, began coaching. That's probably how most people become Little League coaches, and they often feel at a complete loss as to where to start. Written by a father/coach for other parent/coaches, Little League Drills and Strategies teaches coaches how to help their players enjoy the game--as well as develop the skills they need to win. Well-illustrated drills focus on the essentials--batting, base running, fielding, etc.--while other chapters teach novice coaches how to deal with competition and overbearing parents. An excellent resource for coaching neophytes as well as seasoned managers. --Sunny Delaney

I got this book for my son for Father's Day. He is a Little League coach and he loved it! He said it would be a big help with his kids!


1 out of 5 stars Very High Level - discusses more on the league setup   March 30, 2006
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I bought this thinking it would be for an introductory coach.... it is more on the rules and very high level. for example the book reads - "make sure you get the right bat for the batter" and does not explain how to measure right bat height......same is true for the height of the tee...... disappointing.


I'm going to buy another book......



5 out of 5 stars Great book for new coaches   July 21, 2005
