Coaches Corner
Welcome to the Coaches Corner,
As time goes on you will find more and more about tips and training videos available through this page.
I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is David Hayden and I have been coaching and managing in North Arlington Little League since 1998. That is the first season where my son pulled on and tied his first pair of cleats. He and I grew up in Little League over the years and he now helps me as a coach.
This page will help you with tips on designing your practices and also help you with the drills to zero in on a particular skill…
Tip # 1 … keep them busy. There is nothing like trying to keep T-Ball kids involved so remember they have a very short attention span. Have them do a little game here and then move them to the next game. Don’t think that T-Ballers are the only ones who need to play games because it works with all players at all ages. Learning Is transferable so get them to do what you want the end result to be with them just playing.
I have a few books and DVDs to take a look at if you need help. I too can be contacted to talk or come out to help with a practice … my cell number is 817-501-1069 and my email is davidrhayden@hotmail.com.
I will do what I can to help.
Thanks
David R. Hayden

These are just a few links on different aspects of coaching baseball for your little leaguer.
QC Baseball Tips I have been involved in baseball most of my life, early on as a player and later coaching at the high school and junior high levels. While I had worked with younger children at a number of baseball camps, I nevertheless felt a little nervous as I approached my first practice facing 4,5, and 6 year olds. I decided to look to the Web for help on how to approach this age group. In general, I found a number of Web sites that would provide 1 or 2 drills as an enticement to buy their book, video, or other related baseball product. Not that I'm against making money (I would love this site to make money or break even at least), and not that these Web sites don't have some really good information, but I was still disappointed. The experience left me feeling that the Web could use another source for coaches, parents, and players to gather information on all aspects of baseball. More importantly the information should be free.
Sports, baseball in particular, have meant so much to me over the years. I was shy and self-conscious as a youngster and sports provided me with the confidence I needed to help me succeed, not only on the field but more importantly off. I was blessed by having some tremendous coaches as I was growing up. My supportive parents and these role models helped develop me into the person I have become. It's that past influence and the impact it had on my life that has translated into me taking the responsibility of coaching young people very seriously.
I hope this site will help teach and get coaches thinking about the important role they have coaching and teaching young people. I hope I can also continue to learn from all of you.
