Summary of Managing Little League (Little League Baseball Guide)
Learn how to manage your youth team to successWith its "teach basics and have fun" approach, Managing Little League Baseball is dedicated to helping you teach baseball fundamentals to boys and girls while emphasizing how to make the experience rewarding for you and your players. Fully approved by Little League Baseball® and illustrated with instructive photos and diagrams, this book will give you the tools you need to develop prepared ballplayers.
Inside you'll learn:
- Twenty of the most important and frequently used Little League baseball rules, including the latest change and the new rules regarding pitchers
- The fundamentals of hitting, baserunning, defense, and pitching
- Tips on motivating players, game strategy, and special challenges such as competitive pressure and demanding parents
- An inside look at Little League softball
Late on the night of his youngest son's final Little League game, Ned McIntosh found he couldn't sleep. He realized that he'd never again coach one of his children, and he began wondering whether his coaching system, developed over 15 years of coaching (and three sons), would be of use to other parent/coaches. Three years later, Managing Little League Baseball was born. From start to finish, McIntosh stresses the need to make baseball fun for the players, all the while developing the skills players need to win. From choosing players (use your returning players as scouts) to making sure they all play (a Little League rule) to designing effective practices, McIntosh outlines the techniques that have made his teams successful--for 15 straight winning seasons. Chapters outline drills for hitting, base running, defense, and pitching, while a special section focuses on handling overbearing parents. This otherwise fine book is flawed by too few illustrations (a problem remedied by McIntosh's later book, Little League Drills and Strategies), but Managing Little League Baseball is a great resource for coaches old and new. --Sunny Delaney
