Any good places to study?

[stejay]

I have taken courses in baseball coaching, and wantto get into coaching at teams. You know where I can get qualifications to do this?

[TG Coach]

Could you be a little clearer? What do you want? What is your training? What is your baseball background?

[Maxx]

And where are you from?

[stejay]

I'm from Ohio. I am willing to travel though. I played HS ball, but got injured. I have no training, only knowledge about baseball, and I am looking for a place to learn where to be a baseball coach, and get qualifications.

The best thing you could do is catch on as a high school team's scorekeeper and volunteer to help in practice in any way possible. Then learn from the coach. See if you can coach summer rec ball in the 13-15 year old age group even if it's as an assistant.

If you're in Cleveland, there are plenty of high school and colleges who could use volunteer assistants. Are you still in college? That's how I got my start in coaching: my junior year at Ohio State, I was a student assistant with the Buckeye football team. Then my senior year, I volunteered with a local high school football team. Then once I graduated, I just worked my way up at the college level.

[stejay]

No, I just left college.

I would still go the volunteer route--most schools have already started, so you need to act now. Over the summer, help out with an American Legion team or some other summer program.

I have just been accepted for a course in the United States sports academy. It is a level 2 course in baseball, as I already have level 1. I have also been offered a position of head coach at my local little league team.

[TG Coach]

If you want to work with baseball players you should start a level above LL. If you love working with kids LL is fun. Coaching LL is not going to build your resume to move up.

[stejay]

I am just doing that voluntarily for a few months, until I get my coaching level 2 and 3. Then I have been asked if I want to coach a HS team next season onwards. I am just doing this, as I am going to be writing 2 books in the summer. I am going to go to Minor League stadiums to write a baseball travel book, and also a book on little league baseball. The LL team is part of my research. A lot of travel miles lol

You're getting a job as a high school coach just because you took some courses on coaching? Geezzzzzz!!!!!

By the way, how does a hitter bat 1.944? 1.000 would be perfect assuming ot could be done. The same thing with OB%. According to your slugging percentate you hit averaged a triple or better per at-bat.

I worked it out on baseball reference, from the stats collected from my HS and college days. I have been offered the job because I am also a qualified statistition. Also, it is the HS I went to, and actuallt led the school's all time RBI in a season, before it was beaten a year later. Are you a coach? because there are some questions I would like to ask off the board.
