The Big Al Way

The Big Al Way is a proven approach to teaching, coaching, and developing young players with passion, patience, and purpose. It’s about creating a positive, inclusive environment where every player feels supported, learns the fundamentals, and grows their confidence both on and off the field.

Lead by example with enthusiasm and positivity. Show respect for players, parents, and fellow coaches, emphasizing effort, improvement, and teamwork over outcomes. Walking the Big Al Way means being a role model who inspires kids to love the game and strive for their personal best.

Focus on age-appropriate instruction that simplifies the game into easy-to-learn steps. Use clear, encouraging communication and hands-on demonstrations to help players master skills like hitting, throwing, catching, and base running. Coaching the Big Al Way ensures that players of all levels are engaged, improving, and having fun.

Break down every drill, skill, and concept into manageable progressions. Use repetition, positive reinforcement, and consistent routines to help players retain what they’ve learned.
