NOTE FROM AUTHOR JOHN BLISSENBACH

Softball practices can be boring for players. For many teams, softball practices consist of warm-up catch, batting practice followed by a round of infield. Players spent a lot of time standing around watching other players hit and occasionally field a ball hit to them. Most coaches have little time to think about or prepare a plan for each practice.

If as a youth softball coach, you would rather have fun, structured, fast‐moving practices loaded with fundamentals, then this book is for you. As you enter a new softball season, four things are certain; your players will be diverse in their skills and understanding of the game, there is 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.

This guide is intended to make your coaching job a lot easier. If you’re new to coaching, you can use this guide as your road map. If you’ve coached before, this guide will remove a lot of the work associated with mapping out each practice. You can supplement the practice plans with your own concepts that have worked for you in the past.

With your use of this guide, your players will be learning, having fun and picking up on the key softball concepts at the right time. As a coach, you’ll look experienced, knowledgeable and well prepared. Plus, with some of the heavy lifting removed from our schedule, you’ll have more time to appreciate the season. Enjoy!
