Little League International recognizes and appreciates the challenges that come with being a Little League manager or coach, so it has developed a free on-line coaching resource that Little League managers and coaches can turn to for reference, education, or to stay current with the latest drills and coaching techniques.

The Little League Coaches Resource Center, located on the World Wide Web at:www.LittleLeagueCoach.org, is a free service created by Little League International in cooperation with Cramer Digital Marketing and Event Solutions in Norwood, Mass.

“Being a Little League coach is no easy task,” Stephen D. Keener, President and Chief Executive Officer of Little League Baseball and Softball, said. “For years, providing educational resources and materials for our organization's volunteers has helped to maintain and grow the program.

“It is our expectation that The Little League Coaches Resource Center will enrich the experiences for both the adults and the children,” Mr. Keener said. “Coaches and managers will now have the full educational resources of the Little League program behind them, which will breed confidence in what they're teaching, and give the players the opportunity to excel through better instruction.”

The resource center is Little League Baseball and Softball’s latest, most extensive volunteer training and education tool. Content contributors include two-time USA Olympic Softball gold medalist Michele Smith and the Positive Coaching Alliance, along with other Little League Baseball and Softball’s licensees, which have committed to provide content in the future.

“From the first Little League season in 1939, until today, Little League managers and coaches have used good intentions and their childhood experiences to teach children,” Nick Caringi, Senior Director of Operations and Education for Little League International, said. “The information and video presentations available at this site are time-tested and relevant for anyone coaching Little League. It’s our intent that the Little League Coach Resource Center serve as a first-class educational tool for managers and coaches at the local league level.”

“The experiences that millions of children have had playing Little League, has become tangible by the number of those children that have returned to become adult volunteers, managers and coaches in the program.” Mr. Keener said. “In past generations, the time that children spent with their teams and coaches was typically positive, and in many cases, had a significant impact on their lives. The Little League Coaches Resource Center will allow today’s coaches to enhance their knowledge, and potentially advance the skills and enjoyment of their players.”

All of the content available on the website is maintained by Little League International and supported by a host of content contributors. Another feature of the site is the video presentations, which in many cases, also are available with a printable transcript, making the information portable.

As coaches begin to utilize the Little League Coaches Resource Center, they will have the opportunity to build their own profile and insert items into a personal cache specific to their needs, including practice plans, specific articles and news stories.
