Batting

Introduction

The information in this section supports the content under the Practice Plans 2025 tab. This section can also be consumed on its own.

Please take a few minutes to read through the preliminary info before jumping into the batting content. That info is helpful in understanding the format and teaching approach.

Teaching and learning batting isn’t simply a process of connecting the dots. We approach teaching with an understanding that, while we can make great strides in a short time, there is no magical, instantaneous ‘secret’ to a young player learning to hit.

This section on Batting provides a proven effective, step-by-step, building block approach that produces positive results you can clearly see in the kids’ play on the field.

The content in ‘The Swing’ illustrates the swing piece by piece. Little of this information is to be conveyed to players (is provided for coaches & parents to have a general grasp of how the swing works).

The kids learn through the ‘No Bat’ Drills and Tee Work (‘Activities & Drills’); they learn by doing.
