Little League
International recognizes and appreciates the challenges that
come with being a Little League manager or coach, so it has
developed a free on-line coaching resource that Little
League managers and coaches can turn to for reference,
education, or to stay current with the latest drills and
coaching techniques.
The Little League Coach Resource Center, located on the
World Wide Web at:
www.LittleLeagueCoach.org, is a free service created by
Little League International in cooperation with Cramer

HISTORY OF THE PROGRAM
Little League Canada, with Al Herback as
their author and national coach, will be introducing a new
and unique instruction program and resources to your
community for the purpose of helping managers and coaches
teach our children. Included in this instructional program,
“Teaching for Tomorrow”, there will be manuals and DVDS
available for the appropriate age groups.
While it is recognized that Little League
volunteers are out there doing their best, it is also
recognized that they have most likely received little or no
specific training for the job. Volunteers who are learning
on the job frequently use past experience or a trial and
error approach to getting the job done. Often they are
subjected to criticism. Also, many managers and coaches
offer their services on a short-term basis. This approach to
training has been one of the main frustrations of Little
League life. The Learning the Game program for ages 4, 5,and
6 will be done in 6 Innings of 80 to 90 minute practice
plans with a step-by-step approach with fun activities from
start to finish. Drills will be focusing on the five skills
necessary for the kids to learn the game. With the Playing
the Game program for ages 7 through 12, there will be 6
Innings of 90 minute practice plans along with 3 Extra
Innings, a step-by-step organization of each practice from
start to finish, how to teach the fundamentals of ten skills
along with appropriate drills, how to work with players and
parents and finally, how to use baseball for teaching our
children to be fine citizens of tomorrow.
Little League Canada will be launching this
nation-wide initiative to every district, league and team in
Canada for the 2012 season. Coaches and managers may attend
one or both sessions if they desire.
Bring your glove, comfortable clothing,
sneakers and let’s have some fun!!!
Sincerely,
Al Herback
Teaching For Tomorrow
