Register concussion training - required by Minnesota Law
MN State law requires all coaches and assistant coaches to complete concussion training certification. The certification is free but must be completed by all coaches prior to the season. The education must be renewed every three years. Coaches need to understand the critical nature of head injuries and the requirements to return players to participation.

Coaching tips and tools
The K-3 Rotation document helps coaches of younger teams plan for a rotation for defensive positions throughout the game. Alternatively, utilize a spreadsheet that you can simply add a roster of names too and will then print by name and position a game day defensive plan.
Also at the right is a sample of a pre-game practice to be used with the younger house league games. Focus on splitting up into groups and working on fundamentals. Grab parents in addition to coaches to help so that you can keep groups smaller and more kids active. Kids should not stand around!
There is a document that talks about how to develop the very young pitchers and what basics to work on.
A few practice plans are provided, as well.
A pdf file is also included for the 2011 coaches clinic on Practice and Game day Organization.
