Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not what I expected
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 ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - good for the basics
this is a good book for anyone in softball, lots of fundamentals and basics of the game and even a great book for parents of softball players to read.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very helpful
This book had everything I needed as a first year softball coach. It's easy to follow with many helpful hints. There are many topics especially the emotional side of working with girls that I had not even thought about.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - If Your'e A New Coach

It has tips and suggestions all over the place for you to ponder. Plenty of illustrations and diagrams.of proper techniques for ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Good Guide for a New Coach
Thank You. I'm a father of two daughters (5 and 7) who has never coached before. Although I've played on a softball team at work, and am somewhat familiar with the game, I never actually played little league when I was a kid. With so few coaches however, one of my neighbors asked me to help her coach.

I was a little nervous about giving these girls any bad information. At this level you should just be reviewing the basics, but since I was never actually formally taught what the basics ... Read More
