"This was my second year to coach T-ball and I only wished that I had your book for my first team. Using the tips in your book, our players had more fun and were more prepared than my previous team. It really works!"

"I was reluctant to coach my son's tee ball team because I had never coached before. Your practice plan saved me. Best of all, our team finished at the top of our league and our players had fun.

A good training aid at practice can be useful in helping a beginning batter learn the proper stance in the batter's box. Try using a flat piece of rubber approximately 19" long and 5" wide, like the flat pitching rubber that is included with many throw-down practice base sets. Place the aid in relation to the tee where you want the toes of the batter. This will allow the player to assume the proper batting position with minimal assistance.

Keep meetings with players and parents brief since young kids get restless quickly and create distractions. To communicate important information such as league rules, game schedules and uniform information, use handouts that the parents can read later.
