Seeking coaching advice for my indoor winter training program. I have 20 t-ball kids ages 6-8. We meet once a week for an hour and a half. I want to keep them busy and productive instead of chaotic.
For 7 weeks we have followed this format but it is still a chore to keep the kids occupied.
Loosen up. Lots of running drills. For about 10 min
A competition drill. Winners choose if they want to do hitting or fielding first.
Gym is half offense, half defense. 3 stations set up for both. Different drills each week.
Switch offense group with defense group.
Final half hour is spent doing 2 high energy fielding drills all together as a team. Usually fast paced, high repetition.
Each practice has been a progression building off of skills from the previous week.
Any advice on how to better control/occupy/teach this age group? I'm used to high school kids.
