Baseball Practice Drills That Are
|
As a youth baseball coach, I have found that using SIMPLE baseball practice drills is a much more effective way to coach my players. Have you ever watched a baseball coach try to teach a complicated hitting drill to a young player? I have and my experience tells me that most young baseball players don't understand those complicated baseball drills!
When I am coaching a youth baseball team or coaching my kid at home, I try to follow the K.I.S.S. method. K.I.S.S. stands for "Keep It Simple Stupid" or "Keep It Super Simple." Whichever you prefer!
Sometimes it is just using simple baseball vocabulary that helps youth players understand things more. Be sure to read about the One Word That Will Make You Sound Like a Baseball Expert. The word "Stay" is a simple word that kids understand.
These simple youth baseball drills improve a player's performance. They also help with a player's confidence because he/she fully understands the drill. Heck, even major league baseball players use these simple baseball drills on a daily basis!
Youth baseball hitting drills such as basic soft toss, hitting off a tee and the fence drill can teach great mechanics if they are done correctly. Simple baseball pitching drills, catching drills, throwing drills, etc. will enforce all the correct techniques. By using simple drills and resources (Insider Bat), if done correctly, the game of baseball will be understandable and more enjoyable for your young player.
Don't be the coach that thinks he/she has to be Mr. Technical. Keep It Simple Stupid! :)
Below are links to some of these simple drills.
NOTE: Be sure to have all the necessary baseball equipment for your simple drills. I would recommend Baseball Express - All The Brands You Trust for you equipment needs. I have used them and their service and prices are great!
