Little Players, Big Impact: Coaching Youth Baseball is for volunteer baseball coaches, first-timers, and anyone who’s ever been handed a whistle and a bag of bats and told, ＂You’re coaching the T-Ball team!＂

If you’ve never coached before-or even if you’ve never played much baseball-don’t worry. You don’t need a baseball résumé. You just need patience, enthusiasm, and the willingness to show up and try.

Even if you’ve coached before, this book still has a lot to offer. Coaching five to nine-year-olds is a different game. It takes different tools, a different mindset-and often, a different sense of humor.

Maybe you helped coach a Majors team last season. Maybe you’ve coached soccer or basketball, but this is your first time on the diamond. Maybe you played varsity ball back in the day, or maybe you’ve never picked up a glove. Doesn’t matter.

If you’re working with young kids who are just starting out, this book is for you.

You’ll find:

• Real tips for short attention spans
• Simple, effective drills that kids can succeed at
• Kid-friendly explanations for rules and skills
• Advice talking to kids and cheering effort
• Templates and cheat sheets for game day
