The Learn to Play Softball Program was designed to address the specific needs of 5-9 year olds. The first and most important goal of the program is to make softball FUN for all kids participating and what better way to do that than to provide the coach with all the tools they will need to run a successful program. The Learn to Play manuals contain 18 prepared lesson plans that are easy to follow and understand. The games and activities that make up the lesson plans were created to increase the activity levels of the participants and to challenge them in appropriate ways. These kids will be having so much fun they will be wiped out while having fun and developing their individual softball skills as well as building life skills like co-operation and teamwork!
