Opening Day for College Baseball was outstanding! Youth coaches- 1- take your team to a HS game 2- take your team to a College game 3- ask HS Coach to go to practice 4- take them to outside events We have our HS breakfast club at Bob Evan’s this morning and the kids love it!

Coaches education is the key to player development. This is how we grow our game. @ABCA1945 offers group packages. We are working w/ leagues across the country to get ABCA memberships for their coaches. We had well over 200 youth coaches join in VA this past fall. DM for info.

We have to recruit a more diverse coaching pool in youth baseball. Don’t ask who is interested from normal pool. Recruit them and provide them with the resources they need. @ABCA1945 @mobilitychick @devenmorgan @DCGirlsBaseball @MemphisBaseball @LittleLeague @BabeRuthLeague @MLB

I hope that we ALL wake up and see trends (7-12u) happening across the country. If we lose top players from house baseball, we also lose top coaches/volunteers in LL, CR, P, D. Then the 2nd tier players start to leave and so on…. Tourney only travel at 7-12u is not the answer.

One of our projects involves ball modifications at the youngest ages and levels. We have been working for over a year on a study with a smaller and lighter baseball. @WakePitchingLab @jimmyonatePhD @devenmorgan @CoachB_ABCA @PitchCountUSA

You don’t need to be a former college/pro baseball player to be a great youth coach. Can you create fun and organized practices and increase a child’s love for the game? We have the resources and templates to open up the youth coaching opportunities to everyone!

Workloads and pitch counts where house and travel communicate is critical. Also between tourney events. Educating parents is also key. @PitchCountUSA @devenmorgan @GCsports @PitchKount

We will be sharing information here on what we have been working on with the state of youth baseball nationally.
