Coaching young players, developing their skills, and cultivating
a love for the sport may be the most rewarding experience baseball
can offer. Cal and Bill Ripken understand this like few others.
From their father, Cal Sr., a legend in the Baltimore Orioles
organization for 37 years, they learned to play the game the right
way. Those lessons, paired with their combined 33 years of big
league experience, helped develop the Ripken Way, a method of
teaching the game through simple instruction, solid explanations,
encouragement, and a positive atmosphere. In "Coaching Youth
Baseball the Ripken Way," Cal and Bill share this approach to
coaching and development.
Whether you're teaching your children at home, managing the
local travel team, or working with high school-level players,
"Coaching Youth Baseball the Ripken Way" will help you make a
difference both on and off the field, with these features:
-More than 50 drills covering defense, hitting, pitching, and
baserunning
-Age-specific practice plans for players ranging from 4 to
15+
-Strategies for setting goals and reasonable expectations for
your players and team
-Advice on communicating with parents, players, and staff
-Methods for creating a positive and fun environment in which
kids can learn the skills and strategies of the game
Bill Ripken was once voted by his peers as one of the big league
players most likely to become a manager. Cal Ripken, Jr., known as
baseball's Iron Man, is a member of the game's All-Century Team and
a future Hall of Famer. Together, they are proof positive that the
Ripken Way is the right way to teach the game of baseball.
