SKILL BUILDING WARM-UP
The drills in this section correspond with the Practice Plans (number in parenthesis).
These are also useful to plug into your own practice plan.
These drills are designed to be run prior to the kids playing catch/warming-up their arms; none require hard or long throws.
Ideal for practicing in a small space (when you don’t have access to a full field, are dealing with poor weather/field conditions, etc.).
