Fun Baseball Drills:
How to Make Practice a Blast

youth baseball coaching tips from Dave Holt

Fun Baseball drills are a great way to teach baseball to youth league players. Baseball practice plans are so valuable to be able to teach baseball skills and reinforce the fundamentals. 

Baseball practice is just as important as the ball games. Maybe more.

Often this practice time is the only chance players will be able to swing the bat multiple times and throw and field a large quanity of times.

Skilled baseball coaches are able to incorporate fun drills into baseball practice plan templates. Keep a note card file box with the various fun drills that work the best.

Read on to check out our favorite youth practice drills with competitive team building games.

'Stop the Tsunami in Youth Sports' is a wakeup call and a desire to shift the youth sports paradigm toward a play-for-fun atmosphere. The players still improve, but without the mental and physical hangover associated with today's youth sports paradigm." By VJ Stanley.

Fun Hitting Drills
The 'Arizona Hitting Game'

Read about this simple fun drill. The hitting game is more about conditioning and team building than any other skills.

This is a drill to use periodically and have your players get some conditioning in without them even knowing it. Click Here to read more on the fun baseball practice: Arizona Hitting Game


Another Top Practice Game:
The 'Army Hitting Game'

Take a look at the Incredible hitting game. This hitting game drill is face paced, intense, competitive and filled with skill development.

Make sure this batting drill is an important part of your baseball practice plan template. Develop hitting skills and agressive fielding practice with this drill baseball coach should have in their practice drill tool box.
