What are the benefits of being a high school baseball coach?

There are a couple ways to look at this: 1) you have the ability to affect youngsters in a very positive way. Not only are you helping them develop skills, you help them learn important life lessons - how to win with grace, how to loss with dignity, motivation, teamwork, etc. 2) high schoolers are mature enough (physically) to start learning more advanced baseball skills. Things like throwing a curve ball or slider, 1st and 3rd situations, defensive adjustments. Kids prior to high school do not have the mental or physical maturity to play advanced baseball.

The chance to make more money, better benifit's, and better positions in the field of you choosing. Also will allow you to persue a career path that requires more extensive training then a High School Deploma or GED offers.

What I would do if I were starting a selective 14-15 yr. old team would first be to spread the word of a tryout. Talk to nearby High School coaches and ask them for any athlete contacts. Put an add in the newspaper. Make lots of phone calls. Next, hold a tryout and assemble a team. Hold practices. Sign up for games to be played and tournaments to be played in. I'm not sure of the overall cost, but you could potentially get some sponsors to help shoulder the load. Most baseball tournaments are at least 200$ per team. Next is uniforms, travel, overnight stay, etc. Good luck with your team!

i'd say start with little league team or a pony league team.....then maybe asst coach at your high school, then i'm sure if you're as good as you say, you can probably get a gig at a college based on your head coach's recommendation.....

sometimes hitting anything with a bat can relieve stress. maybe you can be a little more efficient and hit your coaches with a bat......get the stress out and get them to take notice of the dilemma. then sit down and talk with them....if they give you anymore trouble.......just keep the bat in plain sight......

Typically you don't start out calling high school games.  Personally, I would find a baseball facility in a well-to-do area near where you live and ask around about how to get in contact with the person in charge of umpires (sometimes called the assignor).  Find out if they need help, which they almost always do, and what the pay schedule is for age groups, field size and level of play.  You'll also need to ask about equipment and uniforms, some places like where I call require you to purchase certain shirts and pants to even be considered for games. \n\nThen once you feel comfortable calling 9-18 year olds, you typically have to attend a training/rules class for high school baseball before you can be scheduled to call those games.\n\nGood luck.

You have to probably played the game, at least in college. Then you have to get a degree in something like kineseology, and be a high school asst coach. If that coach is really successful he'll go up to college, and probably want to take his assistants with him. That means you could coordinate in college or possibly take over coaching the high school. Either way you have to be successful enough for another college to wish to hire you as head coach. Afterwards you have to be a very successful college coach, and get the attention of an NFL coach or general manager. After that you can be brought up to assist whatever coach, and if you do well in that aspect of the game you might get an offer in a few years from a bad team to be the head coach.

Eat foods high in carbohydrates before the game.  When I played baseball in high school, we'd have pasta before home games and take a box of saltine crackers on the bus to away games.  Also drink plenty of energy drinks (gatorade, powerade, etc) and water.

Pluses: Develops physical and mental toughness and character. Teaches respect. Allows players to be multi-dimensional multi-taskers if they're exceptionally talented. \n\nMinuses: "burn-out" after so many consecutive seasons. Allow them to try other sports if possible to keep options open. Pressure to win over and above having fun. When there's something on the line like a championship, it's exciting, but there are 21 other kids out there besides your kid: if they're all wound up and fretting over it, they won't perform well. Make sure they PLAY to have FUN first! Also, debilitating injuries relatively early in life can cause problems as they get older. Make sure they're as physically fit as possible before they even begin to train for the sport. Injuries happen to the best of them, but if they're in good condition and are MENTALLY able to come back, ease them into it. Third, do everything in your power not to be a "sports parent" Don't be a jerk when they mess up, encourage them as much in defeat as in victory; it'll remind them that this is a GAME, not life!

Hustle, hustle, hustle!  In 8th grade, effort means a lot more to coaches than skills.  If it is obvious that you'll work your butt off to make the team, then your chances are good.

Getting into a good school and then actually getting good grades.  There are some students who just "get it" and are able to write like they want you to, then there are people like me, whose GPA would make an excellent ERA if I were a major league pitcher.

If your highschool has a team they prob. have one or go to a sports camp or batting cage that gives leasons like All Star batting cage or Frozen Ropes.  They will have speedometers. There is also a ball that telles you how fast you throw it when you throw it.  There is a link in my scources if you want to see it.  Also there is a bucket that has one on it so  when it goes over it tells you its speed.  Or you can always calculated it with your physics formulas! Haha.

If you took away the coaches and parents you would not get a team,  but you would get a bunch of kids who will either have fun or fight like cats and dogs.  the whole purpose of baseball is for the kids to learn about the game and to learn structure and how to deal with pressure ,  I have made it my first priority for them to realize that fun is the name of the game and ,  if my kids arent having fun,  they do not need to play.
