The Big Al Instructional program was set up to help coaches and managers. The curriculum plan includes a series of resources for baseball and softball coaches, players and their parents involved at the 5-8 year old level and extends to coaches and managers working with players at more advanced junior and senior levels. There are resources to help coaches teach the skills, plan effective practices and manage their team on game day. The program also includes resources for players and their parents so they can practice the proper techniques and have fun between practices and games. The program guides the coaches toward age appropriate skills, drills and activities for each level and each instructional series builds the foundation for the next. If you want to experience the program live, Big Al and Scott present coaching clinics around the world each year including in Westport in 2011.
