As I am only one person, and not a very good pitching-teaching person at that, I am putting together a little primer for my players (all ages) and parents who show interest in pitching. It's basically going to be a bunch of YouTube videos, plus any other sources (like DFP, Fastpitch Foundations, Nyree White/Amanda Scarborough Facebook pages) that I think are useful.
I'm starting with a few videos (Balswick, Java) on IR/the arm circle. I'm also going to include something on Drive Mechanics.
After that, I'm stuck. What I do NOT want to do is include too much information. This is a starter kit, so to speak. This is me giving them a few things to do, and then once they have that down, we go from there. I can always send more advanced videos to those who show themselves to be dedicated.
So what is a MUST include for this primer? I'm not going to include something like finger pressure ball movement. That's for later.
Are IR/Arm circle and basic drive mechanics "enough" to get someone started?
