There are many baseball coaching books available today but most target older kids or advanced players. "How to Coach Tee Ball" was designed especially for younger players by a coach with seven seasons as a youth baseball coach. His philosophy is simply to keep it fun for the kids and allow them to develop a lasting appreciation for the sport. He will share drills that he developed for his younger players that actually make practice fun so players stay interested and not even realize they are learning new skills. The practice plan provided in the publication can save a coach numerous hours in planning practices and yet will help to prepare a team to compete well from the very first game. Whether you are an experienced coach or thinking of coaching your first season, this publication will guide you from start to finish.
