Why would you take a job coaching something you know nothing about?

I was a HC of track for 4 years. I know less than nothing. For me, it was $3500 and offseason football. If there weren't meets, it would have been the perfect sport. |

I could be wrong, but I would assume he wasn't given much choice in the matter. You already knew that though. |

Baseball is a harder sport to coach than most people think it is.
Get with your head coach, ask him to clinic you on what he wants you to do.
At least be able to do Batting Practice and Infield-Outfield drill to start.
Then learn as you go with more input-feedback from HC.
I do not know of any web site for Baseball similar to this one, but may be - Google is your friend.

Everything is disorganized and inefficient. Like a PE class. I don't know the sport, but I've seen good practices. Just trying to find a place to start to mitigate the damage. |

Why do you imply PE classes are "disorganized and inefficient"? Mine weren't.
If you don't know the sport, how do you know what are "good (baseball) practices"?

I don't know what a good one looks like. It's why I'm asking questions, but can you just trust me when I say that I believe that most practices have similar structure across all sports. No structure is in place. |

I'd start by digging around for baseball fundamental drills; batting, fielding, pitching, etc.. High school baseball is heavily dependent on all of the players being able to execute 90%+ of the fundamentals involved.

Tons of stuff on youtube, that is the best resource for baseball. Matt Antonelli has a great page then just search from there, everything you need to get started will be there.
You need to ask your HC what exactly he wants you to coach, then just learn it to the best of your ability from videos and say nothing else about any other spots until you do a season under the coach and learn how he teaches things.
You will be fine and often times in schools people need to step up and coach things they don't know a whole lot about because a lot of qualified people simply do not have the time, so good job for helping out.
Youtube Antonelli Baseball and Trey Mongero Baseball you will get a boatload of information there, and oh yeah if at all possible do not coach 3rd, lots of stuff going on there!

Sorry but coaching something you know nothing about is simply malpractice. 1st if you are coaching kids who have been playing since they were 4-5 years old. So when you say something wrong they will know and you now have lost your team. 2nd by coaching them wrong you have a negative impact on them and their success. I suggest you show some integrity and simply refuse the job and state why. I dont teach math, because I am not a math teacher, what makes you think it's ok to coach baseball when you are not a baseball coach.
Sorry but what you are doing is simply wrong and if its all about the money, then it's even more wrong..

Dude, get over yourself. |

I'm a baseball coach that was lucky enough to come to a school that wanted me to coach track. Thank GOD!!! If you have any questions just DM me. I will help you out the best I can. Also, go to youtube and look at drills for the position you will be coaching.
The thing about baseball is that it's so situational that you really can only work fundies in practice. They need to know basic rules like infield fly and dropped 3rd strike situations that come up a lot throughout the season. And the dropped 3rd strike needs to be practiced weekly in my opinion

Coaching Baseball is simple.
Tell your pitcher to throw low smoke. Like Indians manager Lou Brown told Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn, "Forget the curveball Ricky, give him the heater!"
When you're at bat give 'em the home run sign.

So. I'm coaching baseball. I don't know anything about baseball. Is there a coach huey for baseball? If so someone let me know. Thanks. Here is a great place to start: www.jackleggett.com/ Coach Leggett is the coach for the Jr Nartional team and was the longtime head coach at Clemson. He is the best I have ever seen when it comes to infield play and practice organization (I was a head baseball coach for 14 years). I will also be glad to help you in any way I can. DM me if you want to ask questions. |

I headed JV softball for three years with no prior softball coaching experience. I learned pretty much everything on YouTube and online drill PDFs. The sad thing is my JV softball win % is higher than my JV football win % lol.
