The Coaches War Club
Youth Fungo Bat

Fungo bat What kind of bat do you see a youth league coach or dad hitting grounders and flyballs with? Usually it’s a kid’s bat….A bat designed for a 6,8,10 or 12-year old! It just doesn’t make sense to use a kids bat or to spend $100-200 for a game bat either.

Get A Coaches Bat!
High School, College and Pro coaches use a fungo bat.
This is generally a 36” long bat that is very skinny and light. The problem is that it can be difficult to use if you have never used one. It is even tougher when you are hitting to kids on a small field.

Here’s Your New-Tech Solution!
I have designed the Coaches War Club...
THE FIRST FUNGO BAT ESPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR YOUTH COACHES!

It is only 33 inches long and weighs just 18 ounces so it is really light and quick.
Perfect for consistently hitting grounders and flyballs up to 250 ft…or more!
You can hit 200 balls without wearing out. It even comes in team colors (Not sure? You can’t go wrong with black or natural). Just remember, it’s not for hitting pitched balls!

Pancake Glove
For Training Infielders

Pancake training glove Got infielders? Then you definitely will want to add our Pancake glove to go with your new Coaches War Club! Here’s why…

Here’s one of the best defensive tips I can give you…
This game is played from the feet…up!

Here’s how I explain it to “potential” infielders in a way that really hits home with them…
What do you call infielders with slow hands and feet…OUTFIELDERS!

Just look at the pancake glove and you will notice that it has no pocket or web so it teaches players THAT THEY MUST catch balls with 2 hands… WHICH MAKES THE PLAYER SET HIS FEET PROPERLY WITH HIS BODY BEHIND THE BALL IN A WAY THAT HE CAN ONLY CATCH THROWS USING BOTH HANDS!

You can only disguise slow hands and feet to a certain level of play.
Many will reach a point where the position outgrows their quickness. I was able to help my own son achieve success and stay productive in the infield through 5AAAAA High School with the use of knowledge, hard work and the pancake glove.

When he arrived on his College campus, he was the 4th best middle infielder they had. The short story is that today, he is now the starting left fielder after making the transition through Fall baseball and the first half of his Freshman season…and he loves it!

(PS – he still carries a pancake glove in his bat bag today just to keep his hands “ready” and his footwork from becoming lazy.)

Help your own players with this inexpensive tool that can be easily taught, used and perfected!

Skills and Drills by Bragg Stockton
Skills N’ Drills Coaching Series
DVD or VHS - 100% Money Back Guarantee

A GREAT GIFT FOR EVERY YOUTH LEAGUE COACH!

Here’s a gift that most coaches won’t buy for themselves…but absolutely should!
I know we have lots of great instructional videos on just about every aspect of the game. They don’t make it on our site if I don’t feel that there is value.

Ok, so why should you consider this 5 DVD series?

It is an absolutely comprehensive view of every function of the game.
From batting to practice organization to pitching to conditioning and on and on.

All coaches have areas they are strong in and areas where they are at a loss as to how to effectively teach their players. This series covers all bases and areas…period. This will even allow you to become smarter in the areas you are already good at teaching!

You Can’t Outgrow It!
You will be coached by one of the most well known and best instructors of youth baseball in the entire country (Bragg Stockton). Heck, this guy even got his doctorate degree (PhD) by writing a paper on the teaching of baseball skills to young players!

Personally, I think every youth league in the country should have this entire set for all of their coaches and managers! ---Coach JP

Wheeler Dealer & Hurricane Net
Automatic Soft Toss Machine - New Lower Price!

Wheeler Dealer soft toss machine Soft Toss, Toss Drills, Flip Drills…whatever you want to call them…every player will take countless thousands of hacks in toss stations over the course of his career.

From age 9 and on, it is a staple of every coach, team and program before games and in practice.

The idea is simple…groove a player’s muscle memory by simply swinging at a ball tossed underhanded at a 45 degree angle by a coach or teammate. The throw is arced slightly and can be aimed at the front leg when working on hitting to the player’s natural field. Additionally, it can be tossed elsewhere to simulate hitting to other fields.

A real advantage is hitting hundreds of balls in a short timeframe and not having to collect them. Requiring only 2 players (tosser and hitter) is another reason coaches love these drills!

What if your player could do this by himself at home in the basement, garage or in the backyard?
If this makes sense, please check out one of my all-time favorites, THE WHEELER DEALER SOFT TOSS MACHINE!

When I was coaching 14-year olds some years ago, I carried two machines with me. The Personal Pitcher wiffle ball pitching machine (check out the new fastball/curveball model)…and my Wheeler Dealer soft toss machine…with a portable catch net.

I cannot tell you how many times I forgot to recharge it, knocked it over and generally didn’t handle it with kid gloves. I still have it and can honestly say…it is still ticking, though now it is a bit ugly!

The benefits are obvious... Tons of swings, zero set-up & break-down time. Great for baseball or softball. Uses wiffle balls and dimple balls too! Unbelievably well made! Rechargeable (goes 10 hours between charges). Great warranty (We have had 1 return in 3-plus years)!
Huge fun with a dramatically reduced price!

If you need a net to hit into, our Hurricane Net/ Wheeler Dealer Package will offer you great savings.
