The Learn to Play Program is designed to be a young persons introduction into the sport of Softball. The emphasis is on FUN, ACTION, and a POSITIVE, SUPPORTIVE ATMOSPHERE with a gradual introduction to non-stressful competition. The Learn to Play Program provides children with maximum opportunity to practice the skills necessary to successfully take part in the game of softball.
The Learn to Play Program allows children of all skill levels to achieve the same number of skills repetitions. The drills also offer a high success rate for every child, which improves every player's self confidence.
Children will take part in skills stations and games throughout the season.

The Learn to Play Program is also designed to be easily administered. Traditionally, at the 5-10 year old level, coaches are Moms and Dads with little or no coaching experience. The Learn to Play Program is designed to be easily implemented by a volunteer coach! The Learn to Play Manuals contain lesson plans, easy to follow instructions, a letter to parents about the program, progressions for teaching basic skills, and lead up games.
