I coach a 12u team and want to work on sliding. I worked on it a bit last year and had the girls slide on cardboard. It worked ok but many of the girls were still pretty apprehensive and one girl ended up flopping down on her butt a little too hard and bruised something. I felt horrible about that.
I see there's a 'slide-rite' sliding mat that I could buy but it's pretty expensive ($300). I like it because it's padded.
I'm curious if anyone has made something like this on their own. If so, how did you construct it?
