Wayne in Boca Raton, Florida sent this one to me. Some great baseball drills and tips that don’t require a coaching PhD to figure out. Try these with your team and watch the improvements!
From Wayne…
This baseball drill worked for my team last year when we were struggling with fly balls.
-Team run with their gloves on. Players had a difficult time chasing down baseballs running with arm and glove extended. Run taught them to tuck the glove and extend only when going to catch the ball.
-Tennis balls hit with a tennis racket and bounce the ball off of their heads (helmets on of course). When they became proficient we added a level of difficulty. Bounce the ball off their head and catch the ball. This taught them to get under the ball.
-We also found playing catch with a football, to the left and right and over their shoulders taught them the proper form to chase down baseballs.
