TONS of Good Drills

All drills not for all ages, but you can definitely find many drills for any age group in this book, well worth the money I paid on Amazon. I've recently purchased several youth baseball coaching books and though I like the Ripken ones a bit more overall, I'm glad I got this one too. Not every strategy, drill or style is for everyone, it's good to get a wide range to choose from. There are TONS of drills in this book, good explanations, easy to run, if it's not exactly what you think would fit your team you can probably make small adjustments to make it work. I've coached youth baseball for 8 years, used books and websites for aids, still plenty of news ideas for me in this book.

Not so great for younger players

I bought this hoping for practice and drill ideas for my 7-year-old baseball nut son. While I'm sure it will be great in future years (high school), it has very little of use for younger players such as Little Leaguers. That's not a flaw with the book exactly, just a shortcoming of the marketing info at the time of sale.

All covered

This book is all you need to get a good start. All the basics and more for EVERY player on the team. This book takes some time to get through but it's worth the time for you, the team and your players. Great tips and techniques.






Great Book

This is a great tool for coaches looking to add variety to their practices. This book has helpful illustrations to facilitate each drill. Also the nice thing about this book is the detailed explanation of what each drill is looking to achieve, and gives variations of most drills to make them more challenging.

I coach HS Freshman baseball and use many of these drills to teach the foundation of the high school game. I would recommend this book to coaches of all levels.

Great book for coaches and player

This book is great for a Baseball coach, from Little League all the way through high school. Not only does it give a number of drills for each area (e.g. warmups, throwing, pitching, catching, batting, defensive situations), but it provides many illustrations to show how the drills should be run, and provided details on the how and why.

I have recommended this book to a number of other coaches and each has really appreciated it.
