Softball: Steps to Success is excellent as either a course text or a self-instruction guide. Either way, this unique progression of skills will help players get started quickly, make steady progress, and proceed at their own pace. In this book, 25 steps (chapters) explain why each concept or skill is important, identify keys to correct technique, help players correct common errors, explain how to practise each skill in realistic ways, list specific performance goals for each drill, and provide checklists for evaluating proper technique. Teachers and coaches need both the participant's guide and the companion teacher's guide to teach effectively. Teaching Softball: Steps to Success follows the same skill progressions as the participant's book and features management and safety guidelines, rating charts for identifying players' skill levels, 104 drills to fit various skill levels, teaching cues to maximize learning, suggestions for identifying and correcting errors, and a complete test hank of written questions.
