Baseball presentation yesterday

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to work with a youth baseball team for speed and agility. The coaches asked me to show them some skills that they could incorporate into practice and during the off season.

Since the kids were younger pre teens or early teenagers my goal was to show some basics and not overwork them.

Our focus was on a warm up and speed drills, full speed sprint work and base stealing techniques for shuffling and transitioning to a sprint. We also did some shuffles and runs into a fielding position in order to prepare for the season. 

The kids worked hard and were pretty tired by the end. 30 min sessions over 2 hours is a lot to stay focused on and theywere struggling by the end. 

It was a good workout and prepared them for when they get outside in a couple weeks.
