FUN DRILL FOR YOUTH PLAYERS STAYING IN FRONT OF BALL

Steve Nikorak and Duke Baxter show us a GREAT, FUN, AND PRODUCTIVE drill for youth players to stay in front of the ball! We got asked by coach John, he's a T-ball coach. He says he has half of his team every time a ball is thrown to them they're constantly getting out of the way of the ball. They're so afraid of the ball that they don't even care about catching it. Do you have any drills that help them build confidence in how to catch the baseball? Yeah. Definitely. I think a lot of you coaches go through it with the T-ball ages six, seven, eight. They get afraid. They don't ever want to get hit. So we want to build confidence but I got a fun drill here that's going to make practice more fun and the kids are really going to enjoy it. All right. I put a bucket here and I had one of my little guys last week stand on top of the bucket. What that's going to do is it's going to force him to keep his feet on the ground and not give him a chance to move out of the way. So again you can have them stand on a bucket, have them stand on a chair, cinder block, whatever you want. They're going to stand on top of the bucket like this and then have a coach toss tennis balls. Just with my glove hand okay. My throwing hand is behind is behind my back. Even if I don't catch it, it teaches them to catch the ball with their fingers towards to the sky. Okay. Just like this, protecting their face because we always want to catch the ball out in front. Once they get used to doing this, now they're catching the ball with their bare hand you can progress back. You can put a glove on their hand. You can start to throw baseballs and before you know it once they're playing with a little more confidence it's going to be a heck of a lot easier than just putting them down the right field line and telling them to go play catch. Right, that's going to be a circus. You put them down the line and tell them to play catch balls are flying all over. Kids are going to get hurt. This is a safe way and an easy way to get them catching the ball properly in practice. Another thing you could also do and that's build a competition out of it. Have two kids one at a time throw six balls. Whoever catches the most balls wins. That kind of now turns into a competition as well but that's and awesome, that's an awesome drill.
