Simple Drills to train POP skills

[tamss13]

I was on the Pop Time Discussion, and I learned allot.

With that I started searching youtube for training.

I am looking for drills. Is there a footwork drill. I found one and I really really like it so I started this with her yesterday.



She has committed 30 mins a day mon to fri to work. She actually made the deal with me.....I was impressed

Great video! 30 minutes per day? How old? That's a lot, because I am sure she still needs to work on hitting too.

You know how hard it is to get a commitment from a 11 year old ...... I am running with this

I was shocked when she volunteered the time .... It took me a while to respond.

I know a big ask is coming very soon ..... there is a motive but again .... until then I am running with this LOL

11 years old? If you can get her to work do 10 minutes on the T footwork and 5 minutes on pitch framing with tennis balls she will be a beast in six months. I still see catchers crow hopping at 14u travel ball.

LIKE BURST FORWARD!

Good to see a comment about
DO NOT Jump up and rotate backwards.

Terrible to rotate backwards throwing. Shoulder moving backward while arm needs to come forward. Weight transfers east/west arm heads north recipe for injury.

Really prefer transition in front, body helping aline throw using bursting forward energy!

so when you are teaching a kid to throw down to 2nd you don't teach pointing the toe in that direction? All the videos are showing me to have the feed parallel.
