What to post in r/BaseballCoaching
What fits the room, and what gets removed.
Works well
- A breakdown of one practice drill you actually use, written so a parent coach could run it at the next practice
- A question post asking how other coaches handle a real problem you are facing, such as keeping young players engaged
- A short lesson learned from coaching or building for coaches, told as a story with the takeaway first
- A helpful answer to a parent or coach asking for advice, with no link and no pitch, which builds the standing you need before you ever mention your work
Avoid
- Posting a product link with no question or discussion attached, because the community has no rules to protect it and general Reddit policies and reader patience are all you have left
- Treating the empty rules page as permission to run a promotional campaign, since the moderator one-liner only promises removals for basic policy violations, not acceptance of marketing
- Dropping the same promotional post in many coaching communities at once, which looks like spam even when no local rule names it
- Writing a post aimed at founders or marketers instead of coaches, parents, and players, which breaks the relevance the moderator one-liner asks for
- Burying a link in a story so it reads like a real question, because undisclosed promotion runs into general Reddit spam and manipulation policies
- Arguing with people who call your post promotional, since with no rules the crowd's read matters as much as any moderator's

What r/BaseballCoaching Is For
This community is a gathering place for baseball coaches, parents, and players of all levels, and the description says people come there to share and receive information. In practice that means the room is full of people who care about teaching and playing the game, from volunteer parents helping a youth team to coaches working with older players. If your post speaks to coaching, parenting a player, or playing itself, it fits the room. If it speaks to founders, marketers, or software buyers, it does not.
What To Post
A good post here reads like something a coach would actually want to open. Share a specific lesson from your own work, answer a question about drills or practice planning, or ask a genuine question about a coaching problem you are trying to solve. If you have built something for coaches, the respectful move is to lead with the coaching insight and let your profile carry the link. Keep every post relevant to baseball coaching, parents, and players, because that relevance is the one thing the moderator one-liner asks for.
What To Avoid
Because there are no published rules, the things that get posts removed are the general Reddit policies, which cover spam and manipulation. That means a post that exists mainly to push a product, or a link dump with no real contribution, is the most likely thing to be removed. The moderator one-liner also asks that posts stay relevant to baseball coaching, parents, and players, so an off-topic marketing post is out of step even without a named rule. With no local rules to lean on, the community's own reaction becomes the enforcement, and coaches are quick to downvote anything that smells like an ad.
A note from Anthony
An empty rules page always makes me pause, because it means my post is judged by general Reddit policies and by whoever is reading, not by a written line I can point to. The moderator one-liner asking that posts stay relevant to baseball coaching, parents, and players is the only real signpost here, and honestly it is the signpost I would want anyway. With no top post titles to learn from, I would read the room slowly before posting anything that touches my own product.

Common questions about r/BaseballCoaching
What subreddits are similar to r/BaseballCoaching?
Subreddits like r/BaseballCoaching are r/SoccerCoachResources, r/youthsoccer, r/GameChangerApp and r/LittleLeague.
Can I promote my product here since there are no rules?
The public rules page displays no rules, so the moderator one-liner says posts are generally not removed unless they violate basic Reddit policies, which means site-wide spam and manipulation policies do the governing.
Are links allowed?
The rules page shows nothing about links, so the honest answer is unknown, and the safer move is to contribute a genuinely useful post and let the link live in your profile.
What can I post as a founder with a coaching product?
The moderator one-liner asks that posts stay relevant to baseball coaching, parents, and players, so a coaching tool framed as a coaching question or lesson fits and a generic startup post does not.
What posts do well here?
No top post titles are available, so read the community directly and let the questions coaches and parents are already asking shape your post.
Is self-promotion banned?
The evidence states promotion is unknown, so treat self-promotion as unwelcome until proven otherwise and lead with help rather than a pitch.
