Coaching Girls Ponytail Softball

This book was written expressly for you who are coaching children in softball. We stress how to teach children this fun game and to have fun doing it. The book covers all facets of the game from “how to” throw a ball to strategies and tactics. When coaching children it should be a fun experience for everyone for you for the parents and for the children. As a coach we cover the teaching attitude and methods. We always keep in mind that the game is for the children and not for the adults. Winning isnt everything but learning to play well and wanting to win is. We take the children from kindergarten through the eighth grades and break them into four categories. In each category we discuss the players needs and abilities what they are capable of in both the physical and emotional sense and their limitations. We have also defined the coach’s role the parent’s role and the player’s role.
