Nobody ever said, ’Gee, Margo, I think I’m gonna coach me a Youth League baseball team and see if I can’t make 12 little boys have a miserable time playing baseball so they’ll quit and go play soccer’. But it happens! Anyone that coaches a Youth League team is a good guy. He is going to donate hundreds of hours to try to help other people’s kids to have a quality baseball experience. Unfortunately, most leagues will hand him a roster, bag of equipment, and a box of balls and send him off with no training to help him do the kind of quality job coaching kids baseball that he hopes to do.
I want to help! I have come up with an offer that will not only insure that the coaches in your league will get quality training in how to coach his team but your league will have the opportunity to make $1,250 as well.
I will come to you league and put on a coaches’ clinic. Your league will agree to purchase 100 of my BASEBALL SKILLS AND DRILLS videos or TIPS FROM THE COACH videos at the wholesale price. The videos wholesale for $12.50 each and are suggested to retail for $24.95 each. The cost to the league would be $1250.00 but the league can sell the videos in the concession stand or as a fundraiser and gross $2,500.00. A $1,250 profit and get a coaches’ clinic conducted by me for FREE! (See www.tipsfromthecoach.com for details on my background). If your league is within 3 ½ hours drive from Houston,Tx ( that includes San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas/ Ft Worth), I will drive at my own expense. Otherwise, provide a round trip plane ticket. Surely, there is someone that would love a tax deduction for donating some of his “frequent flyer miles” to the league to fly me in.
From the clinic the coaches will learn:
- The goals of a youth baseball coach
- How to handle Parents
- Hitting mechanics
- Pitching mechanics
- Fielding mechanics
- Drills to enable an organized and efficient practice that will provide maximum learning experiences
- How to help players with the proper mental approach to the game
If you can’t or don’t want me to come to your league but still want to sell the books and videos and train your coaches, the next best way is to use the BASEBALL SKILLS AND DRILLS and TIPS FROM THE COACH videos to train your coaches. The series is the only series approved by Little League Baseball, Pony Baseball, Dixie Youth League Baseball, and the National Association of High School Athletic Coaches for the training of their coaches and players.
Contact me by email at tpicbl@sbcglobal.net or call me at 713-461-3012 to book a date for your coaches’ clinic. Obviously there are only a limited number of dates available before the season, so book quickly. I can conduct the clinic indoors in a gym or auditorium if weather is a problem.
Lets help those great volunteer coaches to lead your youth league baseball players to the best season ever.
