5.0 out of 5 stars
Should be required reading for little league coaches!,
By William S. Sciortino (Wilmette, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coaching Baseball: Skills and Drills (American Coaching Effectiveness Program Series) (Paperback)
This book is one of the best on the topic. Every individual skill is broken down in detail with easy-to-understand stick figure diagrams showing proper position and step-by-step motion. Sections on strategy and charts showing decision making hierarchy (example: less than 2 outs, 1 run lead or tied, runners on 1st and 3rd: what does 3rd baseman do on a ground ball? the 2nd baseman? the pitcher? etc.) are truly valuable. I'm trying to buy more copies for my assistant coaches so that we all teach the same methods.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The best coaching guide available,
By Joe Fontana (Redwood City, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coaching Baseball: Skills and Drills (American Coaching Effectiveness Program Series) (Paperback)
I saw this gentleman at a clinic ten years ago and bought his book. He is one of the best teachers I have ever seen. He has broken the game of baseball down in such a manner that the rookie coach to the "old school" coach will benefit greatly. I use his book for the coaches in my high school program to develop a consistency of jargon and concepts. Buy three!
5.0 out of 5 stars
good, specific information, easy to translate to your kid.,

This review is from: Coaching Baseball: Skills and Drills: The Ultimate Baseball Training Guide (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
Not a coach but a Dad with not much baseball playing experience. Chuck full of info. There are pieces I have taken out that have really helped my kid. Don't use the drills but like the tips and how specific the author is and how well you can translate that to your kid.
