➕High School Champion 2014
Beginner training plan
Your first lessonBrief talk “What is baseball?”
Show them the field, positions, and basic gear (glove, bat, ball, bases)
Light jog and stretches (focus on shoulders, arms, legs)
Fun game like tag or baseball freeze to get energy up
Lesson 11+Reinforce core skills, show how everything connects, and end the training on a positive, team-building note.
Dynamic warm-up: jogging, high knees, skips, lunges
Partner catch:
Emphasize grip, step and throw, follow-through
Review catching with two hands and glove positioning
Infield Group:
Ground balls (forehand/backhand)
Short-hop drills
Field and throw to first
Outfield Group:
Catching fly balls
Hitting the cutoff man
Calling for the ball (“Mine!”)
Rotate groups if needed
Focus on fundamentals and confidence
Tee drills: emphasis on stance, swing path, balance
Soft toss: inside/outside pitch targeting
Mini hitting contest:
Points for solid contact, direction (e.g., opposite field), and effort
Optional challenge: hit the ball off the tee into a bucket or target for fun
Run the bases with game-like cues (e.g., ground ball = run, fly ball = tag)
Review:
When to run
When to hold
Watching coaches for signals
Add fun races or relays for energy boost
Mini Game or Controlled Scrimmage
Coach-Pitched or Soft Toss Game (optional tee for very young players)
Small teams (3v3, 5v5, etc.)
Every player bats each inning
Reward smart plays, teamwork, and hustle
Situations to teach during scrimmage:
Force vs. tag plays
What to do after hitting the ball
Backing up throws
Lesson 4-10Hit It & Run It
Goal: Practice hitting and base running together
Game:
Set up a batting tee or soft toss
Kid hits the ball, then has to run and touch as many bases as they can before a teammate retrieves the ball and gets it back to the tee
Great for learning to hustle and run the bases
Relay Races
Goal: Teach base paths, speed, and teamwork
Game:
Two teams line up at home plate
One by one, they run all bases and tag the next person
First team to finish wins
Add-on: Yell out random bases and have them stop there to teach names (e.g., “Run to second!”)
Tee Target Smash
Goal: Swing control and contact
Set up a tee with soft balls
Place cones or small targets in the field (zones)
Kids get 3 swings to try to “hit the cone” or land it in a zone
Reward: Each hit = points or prizes (stickers, cheers)
Batting Stations Circuit
Goal: Max reps without long wait times
Divide into 3 groups:
Tee Work
Soft Toss (coach or net bounce)
Hand-eye station (hit balloons or balls hung on string)
Rotate every 5–7 minutes
Tip: Add music while they rotate to keep energy high
Ground Ball Gauntlet
Goal: Reaction + glove work
Line kids up in a row
Coach or helper rolls grounders left, center, right
Player fields and tosses back, next one steps in
Rotate fast, make it a challenge
Bonus: “Hot Shot” for quick feet — soft balls rolled fast to simulate in-game action
Pop Fly Challenge
Goal: Tracking fly balls
Use foam balls or tennis balls
Toss soft pop flies — they call “I got it!” and catch it
Gradually make balls higher or add wind-ups
Home Run Derby (Beginner Style)
Fun and motivation
Use a cone to mark a short “home run” line
Hit off tee or underhand toss
Kids get 3 chances to go yard
Crowd goes wild with each dinger!
Lesson 2-3Throwing Accuracy – “Hit the Bucket”
Goal: Improve throwing aim and form
Setup:
Place 3–4 buckets or cones at various distances
Kids line up and try to hit the target with a ball
Glove Skills – “Popcorn”
Goal: Build confidence catching fly balls and grounders
Game:
Coach tosses soft balls in the air (pop-ups) and on the ground
Kids shout “Popcorn!” before catching it
Reward catches with fun celebration or team point
