This collection of ideas, practice plans, forms, drills, approaches, contests and communication methods was developed by Pete Sprenkle during his 30+ years of coaching girls fastpitch softball. Easy to read and well organized, the Coaches Tool Kit covers everything a coach needs, from getting a team started to year-end evaluations.
The material in the Coaches Took Kit will help softball coaches become Confident, Organized & Prepared.
Besides creative drills and coaching strategies, the Tool Kit includes a team handbook for your players that covers general softball information, baserunning details, offensive and defensive signals, and the defensive plays that can be used during the season.
Regardless of your level of coaching experience, this book will provide you with tools that can be easily and quickly used!
"A Softball Coaches Tool Kit is the lifesaver to the beginner and a useful addition to the softball expert. This book is not only a guide to successful coaching, but it also offers all of the techniques and handout formats on a CD."
Michelle Wakeman, Junior Editor at Softball Magazine
"At first I though it would be too much for a recreational coach, but I was totally wrong. Those coaches who use the Softball Coaches Tool Kit are better organized, run smarter practices and have players who are having more fun."
Joe Garmatz, Wheat Ridge (CO) Girls' Softball Association
"If you are a serious coach, or a weekend assistant for your daughter's team, A Softball Coaches Tool Kit is a must read."
Softball West Magazine
“A Softball Coaches Tool Kit is an invaluable tool for any softball coach at any age level. From the rookie coach to the veteran, there is something for everyone to use. I would highly recommend every coach to get a copy of this great reference.”
Jay Miller, Mississippi State University
"Loads of info that just has to be useful to anyone wanting to coach. Everything is covered ... and then some. This is an excellent book which cannot help but benefit those who are willing to learn."
Dick Smith, University of St. Francis (IL)
"I have been coaching for 15 years for competitive traveling teams and a High School team and finished this book wiser and armed with new ideas. In the 20 plus clinics I have attended, I have never seen most of the drills, and when I tried them with my team, they loved them and learned something. This is a book every coach should invest in."
Larry Becker, Wasson High School
"This book is a MUST for anyone managing or coaching a girl's softball team. Using these "Best Practices" will help you, the players, and their families appreciate and enjoy their team experience."
Ron Hennessey, Texas Xtreme - 14U USSSA National Champions
"The CD with all the motivational material, forms, and a complete players handbook is a BIG bonus! By changing a few words my team has a complete player handbook in a couple of hours that would take weeks to put together."
Larry Antley, North Texas Bees
