Hello Softball fans,
Let me introduce myself. I was a division III baseball player, after college I was fortunate enough to play 7 years traveling in the ISC league throughout the midwest playing fast pitch with some of the best players in the world. I'm a current baseball coach at the high school age levels. Long story short, a few years ago I was helping coach a travel 13U team and during a game I watched a player get benched because he missed a double steal sign. I talked with the head coach after the game and asked him how does he go about showing his players what the offensive signs are?? It was the typical answer.. "well I showed them" So it got me thinking.... there must be a better way. These players are asked to remember a sign or play that a coach may only use a few times a season. Over the past two years I have made it my goal to come up with that better way..... I met with some technology people, did lots of research and jumped in with two feet to create an app that players can use to teach themselves the team's offensive signs and defensive plays. I caught the eye of an owner of an MLB affiliate team, he loved the idea and asked to be a minority partner to bring this thing to life.
AND.... coachesEDG has now been released for Apple and Google devices. If you're a coach or a parent with a player check out the web site at www.coachesEDG.com. What the program allows you to do is as a coach, upload all your offensive signs and defensive play book. Your team downloads the app to their mobile device. Your roster now can learn your team's playbook right from their phones. As a coach you can even set up quizzes and get direct feedback. It is completely FREE to get started and try it out.
I have contact information on the web site for those that have questions.
Thanks for your time.
