·   Trainings – Can’t wait to start coaching? We need helpers at our winter and early spring training and clinics.

Coach - Practice Plan

Below is a simple practice plan to help you get started on the season!

15 Min: Warmup
•Team Stretching/ Throwing (Throwing progression)

•Wrist flips, quicksand throwing, step and throw, shuffle and throw

45 MIN: Defense Drills

•Partner shuffle drill (3 rounds: 30 sec, 45 sec, 1 minute)

•Field and funnel: Each partner is down on their knees with a focus of fielding the ball out in front and gathering the ball to their belly button

•Short hops: While partners are on their knees, they will focus on pushing their glove hand palm through the ball

•IF/OF: Players take their positions and work on groundballs and fly balls and make plays to the appropriate base. This would be the time to discuss cut-offs, double cuts, bunt coverage, etc.

45 MIN: Hitting Drills

•Tee work: 5 steps to setup- even feet, athletic balance, knob to the catcher, load and step, and drive hips thru the swing

•Soft toss: Underhand flips to hitters. Focus on inside/outside pitches, and the 5 steps. Load will be most important as a ball is now moving.

•Overhand pitches: Put hitters in live at bat situations. 0-0 count, 2 strike approach, hitting with runners on.

15 MIN: Wrap Up/ Conditioning

•Team discussion/ quiz of what we worked on

•Understanding approach at the plate

•Team relay race. Split team into 2 groups and do sprint relays.

•Planks, wall seats, push ups
