The most surprising aspect of this project was the chance it provided to take a second or third look at the information on WebBall and decide what we could explain - and show - even better. The result is way more than the original game plan of some preprinted website pages. In developing original content for the field manual, we also created a ton of newer illustrations, and revamped many instructional approaches. While these new ideas may show up as part of the Team Player content on the website, this manual is the only way for coaches and players to get all of this info in one convenient package they can take to the field.
Build your team's power and speed with "Thunder & Lightning"
In answer to a growing demand to make the tips and techniques featured on our site available in hard copy, we've produced "Thunder & Lightning, the WebBall Field Manual for Run Production".
Compiled and edited by head coach Richard Todd, this spiral-bound book contains more than 150 pages, large format 8-1/2 x 11" size, on high quality, low show-through paper. It features not only the best of our website on hitting and base running, but many illustrations and ideas that have not yet found their way onto webball.com.
There are tips to help you...
- build your offense
- improve your game strategy
- teach the latest hitting mechanics
- ramp up your team's running game
- rediscover the lost art of bunting
- plan effective practices
- and more.
Designed as both a readable book and a reference guide, the fold-flat format allows you to plan your offense at home, plus take all the tips and strategies with you to practices and games. With countless detailed illustrations and diagrams, you can show your fellow coaches and players exactly how you want a lead-off to happen, or a slide, or a swing.
