How to Stay Updated with QCBaseball Content

Updated

QCBaseball offers two ways to follow new content: an RSS feed for headline updates and an email subscription that delivers the blog to your inbox. Both options are listed on the site's home page under "Recent Blog Posts." The email signup states that addresses are kept safe, never sold or given away, and that subscribers won't receive spam.

Option 1: Subscribe by Email

This is the simpler choice if you don't use a feed reader and just want posts to arrive automatically.

  1. Go to the QCBaseball home page.
  2. Find the "Recent Blog Posts" section.
  3. Locate the email signup field, labeled with the prompt to have the QCBaseball blog sent straight to your inbox.
  4. Enter your email address and submit the form.
  5. Expect a confirmation or the next blog delivery by email. The site notes the subscription is delivered by FeedBurner.

What you get: New blog posts sent to your inbox, so you don't have to remember to check the site.

Watch for: The site does not state how often emails are sent, so frequency depends on how often new posts are published.

Option 2: Subscribe to the RSS Feed

Use this if you prefer reading updates in a feed reader or want headline-only updates without email.

  1. Go to the QCBaseball home page.
  2. Find the "Recent Blog Posts" section.
  3. Select the RSS headline updates link.
  4. Add the feed URL to your feed reader, or open it in a browser that supports RSS.

What you get: Headline updates from the blog, pulled into whatever reader you already use.

Watch for: RSS shows headlines rather than full emails, so you'll click through to the site to read each post.

What Kind of Content You'll Be Following

QCBaseball describes itself as a free youth baseball coaching resource running since 2000. The site's stated focus is helping youth coaches get started positively and keep improving, with content organized around coaching, instruction, situations, drills, rules, and a blog. The owner notes that while high school coaches also report finding the material useful, the primary intent is youth coaches.

Recent posts and featured items give a sense of what updates look like in practice. One featured drill, "Soft Toss Scrimmage," is a quick-paced game where the coach soft tosses to each hitter, the hitter must swing at every pitch, and the defense rotates one position after each batter — six outs per half inning, no bunting or stealing. Following the blog is how you'd catch similar drills and coaching ideas as they're posted.

Common Questions

Is there a cost to subscribe? The site presents itself as a free coaching resource and does not list any pricing for the blog subscription or RSS feed.

Will my email be shared? The site states your email is safe, will never be sold or given away, and that you won't receive spam.

How often will I hear from QCBaseball? The site doesn't specify a sending schedule, so expect updates to match the pace of new blog posts.

Can I follow without giving an email? Yes — the RSS headline option lets you follow updates without submitting an email address.
