Better Coaches. Better Games. Better Leagues.
Coaches are among the most important volunteers in the Little League® program.
JUST THE BEGINNING...
As a volunteer coach, you have a responsibility to give the players your best effort in advancing their skill and knowledge level starting from where they currently are INDIVIDUALLY.
As a volunteer coach, you likely have limited time, but still care deeply about the game of baseball and about kids.
30 minutes of dedicated preparation per week can be the right amount of time to get your practice(s) planned, as well as your game strategy in place. Committing to giving that 30 minutes can be the difference between feeling prepared for your players, and feeling unsuccessful in your job as a coach. You are encouraged to do the former.
In addition, reach out to the Parkway Coaching Manager, other coaches, Parkway board members, or friends that you know play or have played baseball and find out what skill drills and practice techniques they like. You don't have to recreate everything on your own. You'll be able to put your "stamp" on your coaching over time.
Enjoy your coaching experience!!
