"This was my second year to coach T-ball and I only wished that I had your book for my first team. Using the tips in your book, our players had more fun and were more prepared than my previous team. It really works!"

"I was reluctant to coach my son's tee ball team because I had never coached before. Your practice plan saved me. Best of all, our team finished at the top of our league and our players had fun.

One sure way to build team unity is to teach your players to support their own teammates. Have each player learn the same "high five". Keep it simple such as two smacks of the hand or maybe a forearm bash. If everyone knows and uses the same one it can create a positive team spirit and the kids love it.

For beginning players, it is helpful to use a rhyme to help the players remember the proper throwing motion. Say "Nose, Toes and Throws" as they practice throwing. "Nose" is for looking at the target before throwing. "Toes" is for stepping toward the target with their glove-side foot and "Throws" is for throwing the ball. It works! Have them begin their throwing motion with their glove-side shoulder facing the target to force them to turn their shoulders as they throw.
