Coach's Clipboard Welcome
Welcome to Coach's Clipboard, your dedicated space to coaching and player development with Orleans Little League Baseball. Baseball is continuously changing in the way it's played, the way it's coached, and the way it's watched. The guidance, advice, and support provided will be reflective of these changes in an effort to help new and experienced coaches provide a safe, inclusive, engaging, and fun season for players of all ages.
Coaching youth sports provides unique challenges that will test your patience, creativity, and adaptability as you navigate the diverse personalities, skill levels, and learning paces of young athletes. Despite these challenges, the rewards of coaching youth sports are immeasurable, as you witness firsthand the joy, growth, and sense of achievement in your players, fostering not only their athletic skills but also their teamwork, discipline, and love for the game.
Coach's Clipboard is more than just a repository of information; it's a community. Coaches are encouraged to share their experiences, successes, and challenges. By learning from one another, we can all grow stronger, more effective, and more connected. Whether you're stepping onto the field for the first time or you're a seasoned veteran, our resources are tailored to meet your needs, as well as those of your players and their parents/guardians.
💡Coaching Tips
Quick tips for a succesful youth pratice:
- Praise effort over result
- Progress over perfection

- Drills that can't be explained in 60 seconds are too complicated
Remember, if you're not having fun, the kids aren't either.
Our focus extends beyond the basics of baseball; we strive to instill a love for the game, promote teamwork, and encourage a healthy, active lifestyle among our players. We believe that by providing a supportive environment for coaches, we can directly contribute to the positive development of our athletes, both on and off the field.
