Hello I am new to coaching Softball and was looking for some constructive criticism on how i practice.The team I have is a 10u c class "travel team"(we don't really travel far).
My practices are 2 hours long,when each player arrives they take a nice slow warm up lap then its on to hitting which includes multiple stations including wiffles slow from my DW,fast from me,and off the tee,a line ball(my invention just a 12 inch ball with hole drilled through and 12 inches of rope run through attached to a carabiner that is hit back and forth down about 30ft of rope),and the Pitch to Hit Duece pitching machine each getting about 30 balls from the machine.Then we brake into pitcher catcher work,infield work,and out field work,Then if time permits we have a competition drill.I try my best to keep the practices moving at as brisk of a pace as possible.Any advice as to things i can do better or different methods to try to keep thing different would be appriciated.
