Be The Best Coach You Can Be

Logically, your players all have a preferred style of how they learn best. It could be visual, by hearing or by doing. Most likely it’s a combination of all three.

When it comes to coaching baseball & softball players, in our experience, we rarely ever see coaches diagraming plays and showing players where they need to be in order to properly defend a play.

Interestingly, you see football and basketball coaches doing this all the time at all levels. If you aren’t teaching visually, you may be limiting your team’s ability to learn the game faster, have more fun, and get better results on game day.

Practice Smarter, Play Faster And Better On Game Days

Typically, baseball & softball players only HEAR what to do on the field when they are DOING the situation. Incorporating the baseball/softball version of an X’s & O’s session at the beginning of practice to visually teach players the situations you will be working on that day will help them to better understand and learn the concepts faster. Then, when you provide coaching on the field, it will be more impactful because you will have already taught them the concept in the “classroom”.

A Great Teaching Tool For Winter Workouts and Game Day

Every team or coach you face this season is trying to get better.

Of course, we understand that’s a relative statement and depends on the level you are coaching. Teaching what to do when the ball is hit is just as important at the tee-ball level as it is at the older, more competitive levels. The situations just get a little more complicated but the concepts are basically the same.

Show Them The Reasons

Legendary football coach Vince Lombardi said it best when he said “They call it coaching, but it's teaching. You don’t just tell them, you show them the reasons.”

As a coach, if you aren’t teaching visually and “showing your players the reasons”, you could be limiting your team’s ability to learn and play the game faster.

The Play Ball Situations board is the perfect tool for coaches to visually teach baseball and softball situations to their team, so they can play smarter, faster and get better results on game day.

Who Doesn’t Want More Success On The Field? 

Taking the time to teach situational baseball or softball is just as important as teaching hitting, pitching, fielding or throwing. If your team consistently knows what to do when the ball is hit, either when at bat or in the field, then you are going to be in most games.

For a coach, it’s about developing players, increasing their baseball/softball IQ and making it fun for them. On the field success is a by-product of a coach that develops smart, fundamentally sound players.

Will The Ink Wear Off The Board?

No. Both steel sheets (front and back) are painted white. The field is printed on the one of the white sheets. Both sheets are then lacquered and then laminated with a protective film so you're never writing on the ink which means it should never wipe off. "Think" the red and blue lines in ice hockey and how they are under the ice and can never come off.

Yes. Board comes with 3 dry erase markers (colors Red, Blue, Yellow) and 1 eraser, which is usually blue.

Does The Board Surface Wipe Off Easily?

Yes. The board has a laminated PET film on both the front and back that wipes clean easily with a dry erase or rag.

What If The Board Arrives Damaged?

Unfortunately, this happens from time to time. If it does, it most likely means the board was shipped flat and a box fell on. If this happens, simply contact us at support@play-ball-apps.com and we will send you a new board.
