"Here is an easy-to-use handbook for beginning high school baseball coaches and seasoned veterans alike. It takes coaches step by step through the season, from the player search and the first team meeting through the end-of-season banquet (with suggestions for summer baseball as well!). Instructions for fundraising and promoting programs, creating efficient and effective practices, organizing both practice sessions and games, and simplifying baseball situations are all included." Sample documents are provided to help with the development of a baseball program. Player information and evaluation forms, practice plans and pre-game schedules, helpful checklists, and important letters (including the "cut letter") are all modeled here. "Blueprints" for off-season weight-training and pre-season throwing programs are also offered, along with suggestions for upgrading baseball programs.
