How To Coach Baseball To Kids

Hands down, the finest program we've seen on the subject to date, How to Coach Baseball to Kids goes beyond the necessary drills and practice routines to address the meatier issues of organizing, administering, and coaching a kid's baseball team. Hosted by Wayne Cox and Bee Wanstall, the program is broken down into four practice sessions and a look at what happens on the day of the game. The fundamentals--pitching, catching, fielding, baserunning, sliding, and hitting--are all covered during the four segments, and much more using eye-catching graphics and enlisting the expert advice of over half a dozen other veteran Little League coaches. On the administrative side, the tape discusses dealing with parents, establishing a rapport with the players, how to handle disciplinary problems, keeping a chart to ensure that all players receive an equal amount of playing time, etc. Top-notch production values and a wealth of practical information and advice on the topic make How To Coach Baseball to Kids an excellent addition. Highly recommended. Editor's Choice.
