James we are doing similar, but adding in H-2 with a slide, and H-2 pop slide and hook slide into 3rd.14u.
We have a solid workout planned (similar to previous years), but I wanted to spice it up a little. Currently we will:
Warm-up (I think a lot can be learned from this).
Timed runs (H-1, H-H).
Infield drills (different types of plays from SS).
Positional/Situational.
Outfield (Drop steps, throwing, etc).
Hitting/Bunting (a little tee work, a lot of front toss).
Our biggest thing this season is looking for high effort girls, so I want to focus on drills that will help evaluate that.
That will be very interesting. I like it. What percentage of the players will be able to confidently do it on the first try? I can't stand players that don't slide or don't know how to slide. Hope nobody gets hurt. Nothing worse than the indecisive late slide.James we are doing similar, but adding in H-2 with a slide, and H-2 pop slide and hook slide into 3rd.
Yeah I'm very big on sliding properly, if a girl needs to make a small adjustment to her slide that is coachable. If it's just terrible that might be something that takes her out of the running for the team, unless she has other skills.That will be very interesting. I like it.

Whats the answer your looking for?Then I ask them, 'If you're a center fielder and the batter bunts the ball what do you do?'
Then we do all the other basics stuff everyone does i.e. throw, catch, hit, run
