Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn the first lesson, my goal is to make the player feel comfortable, confident, and excited to learn. I start by getting to know their experience level, athletic background, and goals. Then we move into a simple assessment of throwing, catching, and hitting so I can understand their natural movements and competencies.
From there, we focus on foundational body positions—proper throwing mechanics, hand placement on the bat and ball, stance, and footwork. I keep the session positive and hands-on, using easy drills that build coordination and confidence right away.
Lesson 11+After 10 lessons, the player will have a solid foundation and we shift toward polish, consistency, and game-ready performance. Depending on their development, sessions may focus on:
Position-specific skill refinement
Developing a repeatable swing with more consistent contact
Advanced defensive footwork and reaction drills
Understanding strategy and reading the field
Building routines they can use on their own
At this point, we train like a developing athlete—not just a beginner—while keeping the game fun and rewarding. My goal is to help them not only improve skills, but also grow their love for the game.
Lesson 4-10By this stage, we build consistency, strength, and situational understanding. Players can expect:
Improved throwing velocity and accuracy through better mechanics
More advanced hitting work: timing, pitch tracking (if applicable to current skill level), and balance through the swing
Fielding progressions like backhands, forehands, and clean transfers
Introduction to baserunning fundamentals
Learning the “why” behind certain movements and decisions
Lesson 2-3In lessons two and three, we begin layering in consistent fundamentals. Players can expect focused work on:
Repeatable throwing mechanics (arm path, front-side stability, follow-through)
Hitting basics such as bat path, contact point, and lower-body engagement
Fielding footwork and glove fundamentals
Simple position-specific movements based on their interests
These sessions include more structured drills but always stay fun and encouraging. The goal is to help them start “feeling” the right movements instead of overthinking.
