Book Review: Not what I expected
Summary: 3 Stars
I coached t-ball for the last couple of years and now my daughter just moved on to Coach Pitch softball. I didn't want to feel like a complete idiot coaching so I found this book, which seemed like the best option. For me it wasn't. This book would be great if your really doing competitive teams or maybe 10year olds and up. But we are doing community softball with girls of which some have never even picked up a ball before. This book I feel is geared toward older kids. I really wanted a book that would help me teach JUST the basics. This book really just builds on basics and what kids already know. It really goes into bunting (which isn't really aloud yet) and offensive playes and defensive plays I just hope these girls catch a ball that comes near them, how do I teach them how to run a pickle play? There are somethings that I read and I don't really understand them. It is really all about fast pitch, and I would have appreciated some tips for coach pitch, I was always third baseman never pitch and I am having a hard time finding a mom or dad to help out with that so I have to do it with no clue and not even a book that will help. Its a great second step book for girls already familiar with the game and ready for learning plays and what not, not a book for basics though.
