Beginner training plan
Your first lessonEvaluation & Foundation
The first session is about getting to know the athlete.
We’ll run a mini “pro day” style assessment to understand:
• Overall athletic ability and coordination
• Mobility, balance, and movement patterns
• Current throwing, catching, fielding, and hitting skills
What we’ll do:
• Play catch and evaluate throwing mechanics
• Batting practice to assess swing, timing, and contact
• Basic fielding and positional drills
• Side-to-side mobility and athletic movement work
Outcome:
By the end of the first lesson, I’ll have a clear understanding of the athlete’s strengths, needs, and development priorities—and the athlete will leave having worked, learned, and had fun, not just evaluated.
Lesson 2-3Building the Base
These sessions focus on establishing fundamentals and confidence.
We’ll begin addressing the most important development needs identified in Lesson 1 while reinforcing what the athlete already does well.
What to expect:
• Introduction to proper mechanics and movement patterns
• Simple, repeatable drills for throwing, catching, and hitting
• Emphasis on body control, balance, and coordination
• Clear cues and teaching points the athlete can understand
Outcome:
Athletes start to feel more comfortable, more confident, and more consistent. This phase creates the foundation everything else is built on.
Lesson 4-10Development & Progression
This is where real skill development takes shape.
Sessions become more structured and intentional, with drills and challenges that progress as the athlete improves.
What to expect:
• Refinement of mechanics and athletic movement
• Increased reps and game-like situations
• Position-specific skill work as appropriate
• Introduction to timing, rhythm, and decision-making
• Ongoing adjustments based on progress
Outcome:
Athletes develop strong fundamentals, better awareness, and growing confidence. Each session builds on the last, creating steady, noticeable improvement over time.
