Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson focuses on getting comfortable, building confidence, and learning the basics. We’ll start with a short evaluation of throwing, catching, and hitting mechanics to see where the player is at. Outfielders will work on ready position, basic footwork, and simple fly ball drills. Hitters will focus on stance, grip, and making solid contact through tee work and easy front toss. My goal is to create a positive environment where players can learn, ask questions, and have fun while building strong fundamentals.
Lesson 2-3Players can expect to continue building confidence and consistency with the fundamentals. Outfield work will focus on clean glove work, proper footwork, catching fly balls confidently, and learning basic routes to the ball. Hitters will continue working on stance, balance, and making strong contact through tee work and front toss. These lessons are focused on creating good habits while helping players feel more comfortable and athletic on the field.
Lesson 4-10By this stage, players will begin putting the fundamentals together at a faster pace. Outfielders will work on reading the ball off the bat, improving reaction time, and learning proper crow hop and throwing mechanics. Hitters will focus on timing, swing consistency, and driving the ball with more confidence. Drills may include live fly balls, movement hitting drills, and situational reps to help players transfer skills into games.
Lesson 11+Lessons become more personalized based on the player’s goals and skill level. Outfielders will continue improving reads, communication, and overall game awareness while building confidence under pressure. Hitters will focus on approach, consistency, and adjusting to different pitch locations and speeds. At this stage, lessons are designed to help athletes feel confident, play faster, and continue growing both mentally and physically as softball players.
