Managing Little League Baseball

This is a necessary and inspiring addition to any coaches library. It made me want to send a fan letter to the author.

Great book for any youth baseball program

This book is outstanding and obviously written by someone who knows what he is talking about. My only comment is that it is not only for Little League baseball but any baseball program for youth such as Pony/Colt, Dixie league and others. Other than the rules that are unique to the Little League organization, the rest of the book is applicable to nearly any program. His recent update is even better. As a former Umpire in these programs I was particularly impressed in his comments about that part of the program. Strongly recommend this book to both coaches, parents and players.

Outstanding Book on Coaching Little League Baseball

I found this book reinforced some of the more successful things I'd been doing as a coach and gave me many other tips I intend to put into use this season. The author is methodical in his approach and it is easy to see why he never had a losing season in 15 years of coaching Little League. I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants to do a good job coaching youth baseball.

Excellent book for parents and coaches of youth baseball

Both of Ned McIntosh books on Little League Baseball are easy to read and contain useful information for both parents and coaches involved with youth baseball.

Must reading for any Little League baseball coach

I have read about twenty books devoted to coaching youth sports, particularly baseball and softball. Managing Little League Baseball is the best. I have read it from cover to cover three times and frequently refer to specific sections. Ned McIntosh gives practical, useful tips on choosing your players (e.g., talk to p.e. teachers), giving tests, drilling the basics (hitting, baserunning, defense), scheduling pitchers, handling parents, motivating players, coaching your defense, and charting to win. Most recently, I was trying to figure out how to play our six infielders all six innings and make sure our other seven players played the mandatory two innings in the field and batted at least once. The section on charting to win provided the answer. This book should be required reading for all Little League coaches, whether in tee ball, minor league, little league, or senior league.
