Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
The complete illustrated guide to coaching tee ball baseball, encompassing an unprecedented range of information from keeping the game in perspective and how to hold that essential very first team meeting to detailed instructions on drills, hitting, fielding, and strategy.
So many parents find themselves coaching tee ball teams without the benefit of experience and instruction. Even experienced former baseball players quickly and unfortunately discover that coaching tee ball and teaching baseball fundamentals to tee ball-aged children is the ultimate coaching challenge for which they need a whole new bag of tricks and techniques. This book takes the mystery out of that endeavor with great insight and detail.

This book has some merit, but for the most part, many of the tips and drills seem to be written for the older Tee-Ballers, probably at least 7 year olds. If you're looking for a beginners book to help 5 year olds, there are probably better ones.
For example, here is the quote on throwing a ball:
"As the arm travels rearward to begin the throw, the wrist and elbow should be rotated to put the ball to the rear (with the hand and wrist under the ball) at the furthest rearward travel of the ball. Once the arm begins its forward motion the hand and elbow are rotated again to put the ball to the front with the hand on top of the ball. The arm needs to stay up until the ball is released. The advancing foot needs to be planted in line with the back foot."
This is just a small part of the "throwing" section. So, you can see parts of it can be complex to understand for adults - not to mention 5 year olds.
Other sections on coaches, parents, newsletters, etc. provide valuable information for the very first time Tee-Ball coach, but the rest of the book makes you think the writer forgot about the very first year or two of his coaching days.

This book is a good book for older kids playing Tee ball. I am coaching a YMCA league comprised of 3 and 4 year olds. If you are coaching little guys/gals - I would recommend videos more than books.

When I was conscripted to act as my son's T-Ball Manager I didn't believe I was up to the task. Thank G-d I am a bibliophile. So I went to ...pick this book up along with several others.
Needless to say the book gave me a framework to train the kids and help their parents and it's making T-Ball an enjoyable experience for all of us.

This CD Edition is a great supplement to the book. The word search and Helpful Information Boxes, along with the colorful diagrams, make the book come alive. Packed with powerful coaching tips and advanced strategies, coaching has never been more fun. Thanks.
