A Coach’s Work
Off the Field
Working with our ballplayers is the favorite part of the game for most of us, but there is off-the-field work to be done as well.
From practice plans and lineups to parent meetings and fundraising, there’s plenty to be done during your off the field time. Here are some things to consider based on our years of coaching young ballplayers.
Have you thought about forming a travel team? We’ve got some words of experience to share there as well.
⚾ Preparing to Coach
Community coaching, teaching, practices from start to finish: prep, time use, facility use, communication, adjustments, and practice outlines
⚾ Manage a Winning Staff

Considerations, organizational meetings, hiring a coach & assistants, tryouts/invitation, fees and fundraisers, play time, conflicts.
