Coaches
"As a manager in the San Ramon Balley Little League for the past seven years (including four years as All-Star manager), I've found the "Get Up and Go Baseball Drills and Instruction for Coaching Success" to be an invaluable tool for myself and my coaches. It is a clear and concise outline for every fundamental aspect of baseball that all coaches at the Little League level should be teaching. The practice plans are particularly helpful for creating practices that are both instructional and fun for the kids."
- Steve Cavalli
Manager, San Ramon Little League
"We just completed a year where we won our league's championship and the previous year we came in dead last winning only 3 games. We attribute a great deal of our success to Get Up and Go's Manual, "Drills and Instruction for Coaching Success." Every member of our coaching staff had a copy. We relied on just about every aspect of it to assist us in bringing the game to our players. It allowed us to have practices that were extremely effective, productive and most of all fun. Just follow the book to a tee... there is absolutely no reason to do it any differently. I can't recommend it enough!!"

"Get Up and Go has been an integral part of the coaching and player development program of San Ramon Valley Little League for the past 13 years. Erik, Ron and Joe have provided a foundation for teaching coaches how to coach and players how to play but more important is their philosophy of teaching. They bring a positive and upbeat approach to their instruction that we want all of our coaches to aincorporate into their skill set. We use their approach throughout the season and feel our players and coaches benefit greatly from their experience with Get up and go Baseball."
