Coaches Corner

First and foremost, thank you for deciding to coach a Clinton Youth Softball Team. Volunteer coaches are a vital component to the Clinton Youth Softball League run by the Clinton Parks and Recreation Department. The season would be incomplete without the help from you and other volunteers. It is the coaches that teach players the fundamentals of the game, the value of team work, and skills needed to move forward in this sport. 

We understand that most youth softball coaches are parents volunteering to coach their child’s team. We also understand that the rules, regulations, and fundamentals of the game may not be known to all parents that are asked to coach their child’s team. The purpose of this page is to help give you the information and skills needed to have a successful softball season.
