Hi,
I coach a 13U boys team in New Zealand. My boys are a lot smaller than the top teams in our league are most of them are really struggling with the fast pitchers. Recently a new batting cage has opened in our area so I'm going to encourage the parents to bring the boys along once a week. My question is should I give the boys batting practice or should I introduce them to bunting and slap hitting. What is easier to teach and learn?
We are approaching mid season and the kids will have a break for 6 to 7 weeks over our summer school holidays so I'm looking for advice on what to concentrate on over this period to be more competitive in February when the season resumes. And softball is a minority sport here, we don’t have access to batting coaches. Cheers
