During the off season before little league starts coaches and parents can begin working with their ballplayers by taking them to the batting cages. Most larger towns offer some sort of indoor facility with various types of batting cages that pitch at speeds from little league up to major league. If you have the space in a barn, garage or other indoor facility you might consider setting up your own pitching machine to help you kids become better at hitting. Pitching machines allow you to adjust speed, curve, height and several other apsects of the pitch to give your little league player exposure to many differnt looks they might experience from a real pitcher. You can save yourself some money buying a pitching machine online through auction at clearance prices during the off season.

Used Little League Baseball Bats
Keeping your little league team supplied with a good selection of bats can be a very difficult task. You need to have several bats to accommodate the various demands of all the players on your team. Teaching kids to play little league baseball or softball and not supplying them with bats of the proper weight and length for their body size and strength will lead to very poor hitting skills. Training young players with inadequate equipment will result in poor performance and can often cause the child to lose interest because they feel they are failing. You can help your team by picking up a few extra little league bats to fill in the gaps of weight and sizes you don't have. I have often purchased used little league bats for these special needs. Buying used baseball and softball bats for your team can also drastically reduce the annual budget of your little league.

Coaching Little League
Little league can be a great source of enjoyment for your kids provided they receive the proper type of coaching. The problem with many little league teams and organizations is that coaches are all volunteer and consist primarily of Dad's with kids playing. This is fine provided the new little league coaches receive the proper training required to help them teach the kids the skills required to play little league.
Often many of these new coaches have some background in baseball that they learned as a kid in little league, middle school or high school baseball programs. While this experience is great, they may not have learned the proper batting techniques for becoming an effective hitter. There are many baseball skills that have advanced over the years and new little league coaches should become familiar with them. This includes proper hitting, pitching, fielding and base running techniques.
