You have to know a lot.  I want to be a scout too, but it's not easy.\n\nNot only stats and histories, you must know the basics as well.  Sit in the back of the plate, you have to know what kind of the ball movement is wicky, what kind of swing speed is fast and powerful.  You have to know what kind of players have good hand-eye coordination or easy to get hurt.\n\nThe best way is to work with scouts.  Most scouts are old, that means they have a lot of experiences.  Listen to them and they can give you things you can't learn from TV or books.  If you want to develop your own skills, prepare your notebook and start to write done and organize everything you know.  Then, watch more baseball games on TV, see how pitchers deal with different batters.  That's more helpful than sit on the stands.

Make sure that you at least take some kind of buisness course\nbecause scouting players is more than just checking out the talent.  You also have to figuire out if you can fit said talent on your roster, what he is paid, if you have to pay him more, and how that affects your teams budget.  Go for it

Scouts understand the game of basketball and they have the experience watch a player in game situations, practices, and workouts to see if the player has the potential to be a good pro. \n\nThey have system to evaluate the player on both physical and mental characteristics.

The best way is first to sign up and get a league. Then get 1 or 2 magazines and find some good websites. Then Get some rankings. From ther it is all stats. Try to find a system that helps

Fundementals, fundementals, fundementals. Work on the basics of throwing, catching and swinging the bat consistently. The more you can ingrain those basics in your team, the better they will do and the more success they will have as they move on to future levels of the game.\n\nThere are several coaching links through eteamz.com, including several message boards where you can communicate with other coaches and get ideas. But whatever you do, keep it fun. The odds are you don't have any future major leaguers on your roster, but you do have a good size group of young players who can develop a lifelong love of the game if you teach them while letting them have fun.

I would call up a local high school (or maybe junior high) and ask to speak with the baseball coach or even the head of the athletic department.  I'm sure the coaches would know of local clinics.

Check out the National Adult Baseball Association (www.dugout.com) or the Men's Adult Baseball League (www.msblnational.com)\nBoth have leagues across the country and both websites can help put you in contact with one in your area. They both have different competitive levels and can be a lot of fun.

Start off by volunteering at a HS or little league team. \n\nOr if you are in college, get in touch with the school team and see about being a manager and there you can get a lot of good knowledge by watching all the practices.

Your too young to be a scout.  No senior club will listen to a 15 year old when they have ex players advising them of talent.\n\nIm sure you can spot good players when you see them, however clubs look for specific types of players at certain times.\n\nie  they might need cover for right back and centre mid so they need a utility player with good experience at a certain level.\n\nMost scouts become scoutsby invitation.  Best thing to do is just select 20 or so clubs and write to them with players names who you think would do a job.  \n\nWhen you get replies just take it from there.

Im the same do the basics,anotther good thing to do is practice your bat swing,im talkin about bat speed,knowing what each pitch looks like,train your eye to pick up the ball mid way between you and the pitcher,make sure your timing is right,dont over step with your lead foot its all in your hips anyway,my coach taught us to place your toe to the cornner of the plate and then bring your toe to where the back of your foot is so you can make contact on any pitch,(on and inside pitch your going to turn your hips sooner making your bat come come closer to you.its the oppsite for and outside pitch your going to wait on the ball and take a slight step inside at the same time swinging your hips to the outside.as for feilding get a good jump on the ball and dont make a catch in an ocward position,get a good angle.

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!

It's too late to sign up for basketball, and baseball hasn't started yet. To sign up for any Yahoo fantasy sport, make sure you have a Yahoo ID and go to fantasysports.yahoo.com. Every sport has its rules. All of them are free, but they have add-ons (like live stats and extended player rankings) that you can buy if you want.\n\nAnyway, you get in a league with other fantasy managers. Everybody drafts a group of real players, and the stats those players pick up during the year are added to your fantasy team's stats. You can trade players with other fantasy managers if you are weak in one area. Good luck!
