Effective game strategies win ballgames. It's that simple. Aggressive base running, knowing when to bunt, to hit and run, and to try a double steal....being a good coach requires the ability to know the right strategy to use, but also when not to use that strategy.
Winning Strategies for Offense and Defense focuses on game strategy for Little League and Senior League, and within each of these age categories will be skills appropriate for different age groups. Teaching your kids what to do in specific situations will make them smarter and better ballplayers, and with a little practice, making good decisions will become automatic.
