Great Ideas for Practice

I looked through lots of books at the Bookstore and I was looking more for ideas for practice and helping kids learn new skills. This book provides learning through games, strategies and many more useful tools. I think that keeping the kids busy and learning in practice with little idle time is essential. It also gives you a plan for the year per age group. This book has given me lots of ideas. Thanks.

Play ball!

As a first time league softball coach, I was looking for some pointers on teaching basic skills, drills, and organizing practices. Boy, does this book deliver. In simple prose, and with helpful diagrams, this book lays out a thoughtful approach to teaching every aspect of the game, and making it fun. I am beginning my first season with more confidence having read this book. Play ball!
