Description
Through years of experience and research, including hundreds of baseball publications, skills and drills books, and coaching publications, DNA Sports has created a highly-detailed yet easy to understand age-appropriate youth coaching curriculum manual.
While the formation of a school wide curriculum�an integrated body of knowledge, principles, values, and skills�is a critical component of educational institutions, rarely is the creation of a universal curriculum applied to athletic associations. DNA Sports believes that the creation of an athletic curriculum that standardizes best practices is critical for the long-term growth and development of any youth baseball organization.
The purpose of this baseball curriculum manual is to develop coaching consistency within age groups and a developmental progression across age groups. This curriculum will ensure that your youth league players are provided with the best baseball learning environment possible.1 Baseball Curriculum Manuel
