Book Reviews of The Baseball Drill Book (The Drill Book Series)
Book Review: TONS of Good Drills
Summary: 5 Stars
All drills not for all ages, but you can definitely find many drills for any age group in this book, well worth the money I paid on Amazon. I've recently purchased several youth baseball coaching books and though I like the Ripken ones a bit more overall, I'm glad I got this one too. Not every strategy, drill or style is for everyone, it's good to get a wide range to choose from. There are TONS of drills in this book, good explanations, easy to run, if it's not exactly what you think would fit your team you can probably make small adjustments to make it work. I've coached youth baseball for 8 years, used books and websites for aids, still plenty of news ideas for me in this book.Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great tool for coaches looking to add variety to their practices. This book has helpful illustrations to facilitate each drill. Also the nice thing about this book is the detailed explanation of what each drill is looking to achieve, and gives variations of most drills to make them more challenging.
I coach HS Freshman baseball and use many of these drills to teach the foundation of the high school game. I would recommend this book to coaches of all levels.
Book Review: Great book for coaches and player
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is great for a Baseball coach, from Little League all the way through high school. Not only does it give a number of drills for each area (e.g. warmups, throwing, pitching, catching, batting, defensive situations), but it provides many illustrations to show how the drills should be run, and provided details on the how and why.
I have recommended this book to a number of other coaches and each has really appreciated it.
Book Review: Lots to work with
Summary: 4 Stars
Any manager or coach can find useful drills from this book. This book is not a teaching guide however. There are certain assumptions in the basics of teaching baseball skills. The value in this book is being able to vary your practice plan to keep the players motivated. The way the book is set up easily allows you to find drills that can help improve weak skills.Book Review: Not so great for younger players
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this hoping for practice and drill ideas for my 7-year-old baseball nut son. While I'm sure it will be great in future years (high school), it has very little of use for younger players such as Little Leaguers. That's not a flaw with the book exactly, just a shortcoming of the marketing info at the time of sale.
