From Coach to Coach: A Practical Guide to Coaching Youth Baseball for Coaches of 11 and 12-Year-Old Ballplayers

By Kary R Shumway

Book Overview

In Majors, the players are eleven and twelve-years-old, and some of the kids will be taller than you are. It is a little intimidating, but you're still the coach and you're in charge. You are in charge, right? Well, at least you have the clipboard and you're the one who brings the equipment bag to the game, so you look like you're in charge. You'll need to teach skills on pitching and catching, along with more advanced hitting and fielding drills. This guide will help you build solid practice plans, get ready for game day, and give you a clear path to follow for a successful season. Read the guide, be prepared for anything. Even a six foot tall 12 year old. There are many baseball guides out there - what makes this one different? From Coach to Coach guides are age-specific, and include only the essential drills appropriate for your players. The guides focus on a manageable number of practice plans for each skill category - base running, throwing, hitting, and fielding - you won't be buried with hundreds of drills, wondering which ones work best.The guides include quick start practice plans, season checklists, and other resources that you can use to get practicing today (or as soon as the snow melts). In short, the guides include everything a new or veteran coach will need to get ready for the baseball season ahead. From Coach to Coach, I wish you a successful and enjoyable season All materials are available for download at CoachtoCoachBooks.com.
