Has anyone viewed the DVDs available through NFHS?

Baseball Pitching By the Rules
A Better Understanding of the Game

Still looking for materials to present to our association at our upcoming business meeting. Any more suggestions? Any reviews of the materials already suggested? I'm looking to get the most out of our association dollars.

For FED ball, make sure everybody receives and reads the new rule book and completes the test on their own.

I would also recommend getting the newest CCA manual (college baseball) and Evans' Maximizing the Two-Umpire System. Both are required in my opinion. The CCA is nice if you have guys that want to get into college ball as this book covers the mechanics used there. It covers 2, 3, 4, and 6 man mechanics. Evans' book is an indepth mechanics book that covers pretty much everything. This book is a great tool for understanding, not only the hows, but the whys in mechanics.
