Below is a collection of newsletters that I found very informative and helped me coach my teams from Mustang up into the High School Varsity level. The more you read and study the more fun this sport is and the more you can teach your players. You'll even be less confused when something weird happens on the field. These articles should be read by anyone interested in the sports of softball and baseball. They cover everything from mechanics drills to nutrition to working well as a coach/parent team.
At Palm Springs Youth League we believe the path to a healthy life, socially and physically, is found in kids staying active in activities that reinforce community and getting along in a structured atmosphere.
