this may interest you. I have some examples I could send.

Here is a problem. I have a lot of my stuff in a format where I can make it into a handbook. I once did. However, we had a young man move! He was asked to turn his stuff in and he did. However, I'm equally as sure they made copies. HE MOVED TO A CONFERENCE OPPONENT! I've never done that sense.

Yeah, we appreciated that

J/K

I put one together for my coaches (most of which I sent a couple of weeks ago to a couple of coaches on the other thread). I have never given it to the kids, but I wouldn't be that worried about it "moving" with a kid because he should know it all anyway, shouldn't he?

That depends, Coach Knight and a couple of others have seen the "multiple infield" and "double infield" that we do. I don't think a player is going to remember those things other than their role in it. Per drill work etc. Players often do those drills for different reasons. Having the ability to remember drills that you might have only done once or twice is questionable. Things like bunt defense would be very hard for any person to remember other than your role. And so, I'm suggesting that I disagree that they should know it all. In fact, I'd suspect that most would not know more than half. JMHO!

ive got alot of stuff on our website. its not been updated in the last couple of years with any adjustments we've added but its still basically what we do. we tweak it a little every year after clinics, talking to other coaches, etc, but the basics are still the same. im going to try to work on some updating over christmas break. as long as its not signals i dont care who knows. baseball coaching is a fraternity. i depend on other coaches sharing ideas with me and i dont care to share with anybody else.

I give the kids a handbook. I don't put anything in there that you could not see by scouting us. Sure there is some terminology in there, but nothing that can not be changed. Goodness knows I've moved around enough in my career!

Anyway, good luck to all.

Can I also get some stuff from your handbook?

My handbook 'see the ball hit it' catch and throw it
throw strikes . copies available on request

I have a handbook that I give to my players--I've used it at the college and high school level. I will try to get a link up that shows the Table of Contents to show what types of things are included.

I would also advise picking up a copy of Jim Tressel's book "The Winner's Manual to Life" -- it is a book about his players manual.
