"The Coach's Bag"

In no particular order,
-writing utensils
-clipboard
-scoresheets and lineup sheets
-stopwatch
-scouting/charting sheets
-rulebook
-practice plan
-lightweight jacket, maybe a hat
-schedule/calendar for season or upcoming tournaments

During games, I'll usually dump keys and/or cellphone in there...

GasMe, nice list. You must have the "Medium" coaching bag. I have the deluxe on a roller one now. I'll give my list after some others list theirs. Oh for the days when I could have a "medium" bag.

My coach pretty much has the team bag, which inludes pretty much everything that GasMe posted but also helmets, 2 fungos, a few balls, etc.

Don't forget the sunflower seeds that fell out of their bag and you arent sure how old they are!

Add tylonol, bubble gum, chap stik, and a generic "leatherman" to mine.

My bag weighs a ton. I wonder why.

Clipboard with pitching charts
Pens/pencils
Rulebooks (LL, HS, Sporting News)
First aid kit, cough drops, Advil
"Pro Ice" shoulder/elbow ice wrap
My gloves (infield, catcher)
Baseballs
Elastic tubing (for Jobe exercises)
Towels (for towel drill)
Radar gun
Pitch count clicker
Ball/strike clicker
Stopwatch
Leather glove lace/lacing tool
Leatherman tool
Screwdriver (for removing mud from cleats)
Butane lighter (in the winter for propane heaters)
Stack of plastic trash bags (for keeping gloves dry from rain)
Bungee cords (for rigging blue tarp over roofless dugout during hot summer)

Roger Thomas,

Now, that's a nice list!

My bag is small---that is the big plus of a staff--they carry the bag(s)

I also carry a "blood" jersey and pants for a kid that gets bloody and the umps want that uniform off the field... Medium so if you're big or small keep your blood on the inside of the body where it belongs
Also I carry an extra belt or 2 and socks for the forgetful ones... I usually charge them a bag of seeds or they can wash my van for their forgetfulness.

Coach, I'll love when I get to the point of being able to carry a small bag. I know we've done a player's list in the past: mine was quite long. Heck, I'll bet I carry more or real close to it in my bag than probably most of the head coaches in our conference carry combined.
