Coaching Kids Baseball – Pivot Drill & Hit the Coach
If you’re coaching kids baseball, it is important to hold your players attention and teach skills while making your practices fun. Here are two fun baseball drills that have become favorites with my teams.
Baseball Hitting Drills – Cross Over Hit
This is one of the more effective baseball hitting drills I’ve used with my new players. You’ll be surprised at how quickly their batting skills improve.
Baseball Drills – 4 Corners/4 Minutes Drill
This if one of the baseball drills I start every practice with. I call it the “4 Corners” drill. It stresses making good accurate throws & tags and works on footwork for a force-out. It works like this.
Coaching Youth Baseball – Pancake Drill
While coaching youth baseball I feel it is imperative to teach fundamentals to the players. That is how the “Pancake Drill”, as named by the players, was born.

I have used these for tee-ball drills for years. They are simple, fun and the kids have fun doing them. Always a good way to keep their attention!
