[Hey Coach]

I`m coaching my sons (Jetboyjake) baseball team again this year. I was wondering if you guys new of any drills i can work with the kids?
BTW Jetboyjake has been bussy studying for his MCAS test. He is actually taking them this week. Jake will be posting after all his testing is over.
Thanks guys.

thats 1 of the best drills to run for a team .also try teaching them to hit with tennis balls becuase they are hard to hit a long distance

quit this year

i would just start with the basics..grounders teach them to go down for it with there legs sort of like a triangle and keep there head down and dont be afraid of the ball, pop ups teach them that there first steps should always be backwards.

[Hey Coach]

Thanks for the Help guys!!!! Beers for all

their is one drill we do when the coach throws a ball up in the air in front of him and he hits it and before he does it, he tells the fielders what base to throw to(or bases)

[Hey Coach]

Great idea`s guys thanks again.

I'd say the best thing to do is to have the first few practices be for deciding each kids position(no favoring your own!!! lol...j/k)...then once you got the IF and OF all setup, have urself work w/ the infielders, doing grounders and thing like that, while and ass. coach works w/ the outfields(pop flys and such), and if practice is an hour n a half, do that for 45min, then hitting for the last 45min....should work

Thats pretty much what i had in mind. we did that and it worked last year.
We have a practice tommorow, and i`m going to streach them out for a few. Make them run around the field twice. I`ll have them play catch for a lil bit and loosen up. I know who our pithers are pretty much,i`ll have them pratice pitching during a drill with an Asst. I`ll have all the kids (9-12 yrs old ) line up at SS have a guy on 2nd, and 1st. Practice grounders and call the play before i hit it to the SS ( man on first and no men on)?. Try to asess who can make the throw to first and second? I think i can get a feel or who can catch and can make the throw.
Let me know what you guys think?

Well good luck to yout son first off and can't wait to see him come around posting again...
But just play catch, do a drill where you throw around the infield and hit grounders to them in the infield, just some off my head in a short time, I'll tell ya more later on.
