Accidents Requiring Medical Treatment

Coaching Tips
Jim Smuck, a former CV coach and board member, created an excellent coaching manual that outlines recommended practice drills and techniques to teach quality fundamentals and mechanics. We feel it is essential to engage your players in fun practices that will keep them coming back to baseball year after year. Coaching resources are also available freely available to anyone on Little League University for all levels of baseball play.
