Note from author John Blissenbach
In my youth, many baseball practices consisted of batting followed by a round of infield. Players spent a lot of time standing around watching other players hit and would occasionally field a ball hit to them. Most coaches were dads who had little time to think about or prepare a plan for each practice.
If, as a youth baseball coach, you would rather have fun, structured, fast‐moving practices loaded with fundamentals, then this book is for you. As you enter a new baseball season, three things are certain: your players will be diverse in their skills and understanding of the game, there is a great deal your players will need to learn, and finally, you will have a limited amount of time to prepare for each practice, as well as a limited amount of time during practice.
Spend your time wisely
How your players spend their time during practice will determine the success of your team’s season. What your players do during training and when they do it is entirely up to you. Your players are counting on you to be prepared so they can be prepared.
This guide is intended to make your coaching job a lot easier. You can use this guide as your roadmap if you’re new to coaching. If you’ve coached before, this guide will remove much of the work of mapping out each practice. You can supplement the practice plans with your concepts that have worked for you in the past.
Using this guide, your players will learn, have fun, and pick up on the key baseball concepts at the right time. As a coach, you’ll look experienced, knowledgeable, and well-prepared. Plus, with some heavy lifting removed from our schedule, you’ll have more time to appreciate the season. Enjoy!
