directly from the "EFFECTIVE TEAM DEFENSES" !

"EFFECTIVE TEAM DEFENSES...where to be and when to be there," an 8-panel brochure, gives proven defensive alignments and strategies, like when to call for a pop-up, that promote teamwork and discourage opponent scoring. The pamphlet details a player's defensive responsibility for multiple defensive situations in table form.

To demonstrate how concise and detailed, yet how easy-to-read "EFFECTIVE TEAM DEFENSES" is for the user, the actual text for a sacrifice bunt defense , one of 22 defensive situations covered in  this brochure, reads as follows:

... get the out at first pitcher
listen/call*
catcher
direct play*
first
listen/call*
second
cover first
third
listen/
call*
short
cover second
left
back-up
8
center
back-up near 4
right
back-up near 3

* The pitcher must throw a strike.  All other infielders cover their portions of the infield, field the ball when needed and listen to the catcher for the direction of the throw.

(Using the Defensive Tables: A bold, initialized and underlined player fields the ball, a bold player either receives cutoffs or calls the play. Initialized players are critical to the successful completion of the defensive play.)

Steve B., Ca. 10/07 - "You might want to charge a bit more for the material"
 

With this kit, the coaches teach alike and the players play as a team.
