Topics include the base coaches job, how to give signals and the line up are discussed in several informative softball articles. You can help develop this site into the best resource for coaches by submitting your articles and comments in The Coaching-Fastpitch Blog.


The base coaches job is to provide information to the athletes. The third base manager should be the one calling the signals and coordinating the offensive plan.
