Somehow I am now the Head Coach of my daughter's Little League Softball team. No one volunteered, I offered to help and there you go. She is seven, her first softball experience, and it’s my first experience as coach.
Things have changed from when I was in Little League. People now have email. I can send around rosters, schedules and other notifications. However, I do go "old school' at practices with a brown clipboard and real paper. Maybe I should use a tablet computer? Maybe not.
You can also now find a ton of information on softball coaching on the web. Some of my favorite links
- Michele Smith – two time Olympian softball player, lots of tips
-
Marc Dagenais – drills and stuff. You can friend him on Facebook or follow him on Twitter.
Any other link suggestions?
Early on I created a Windows Live Group for the team where I keep all of the dox and the schedule for practices and games. I can also upload photos of the team in action. Yes, I could have used Cozi but i thought i would give this a go. Unfortunately I only had two parents join, maybe they didn’t want a Live ID.
There seems to be a bunch tools to help me stay organized on this and so far the kids are having fun – which is what it’s all about anyway.
