1 Week 2 Sunday, January 18 th Topics to be Covered Tonight: Week One Review: Room for Improvement Instructors, Coaches, Players Re-emphasize Practice Concepts, Arrival Times Absolutes of Little League Swing Mechanics Hitting Drills Laying out Tonight s Practice Week One Review: Coaches will travel with their group to various stations. During the season, its most efficient to have a coach remain at a station and for kids to rotate. During the clinics, however, we will ask coaches to (as best we can) pair up with their age group and travel with them Outlines will be distributed on Friday going forward o coaches can come to Play Ball pre-armed with an idea of the night s activities Despite attempting to not pack too much into an hour, we clearly did last week. This goes to show you how difficult it is to teach, given the precious little time we have. It underscores how critical it is to not only know what needs to be taught, but be able to effectively implement lessons and repetitions in an efficient way. Re-emphasize Practice Concepts, Arrival Times: We will continue to try and set routines and expectations about arriving to practice. This includes starting together, as a group, with base running Absolutes of Little League Swing Mechanics (Introduction): Before we begin teaching the six absolutes of hitting, it is critical to know HOW this should be taught, more so than WHAT we are teaching. No age group can teach and implement all of these absolutes in one season. Referenced below are the critical times when these elements should be introduced and taught. Focus on one thing at a time (maybe 1-2 per season in some cases!) Too much information will paralyze the hitter! What is critical is that, as a coach, YOU are familiar with each of these absolutes and that you can teach them. Train yourself to see a hitter s swing in slow motion as if you were a human camera and then focus on these elements. Everything else is a Non-Teach (one of our words from last week!).
2 Absolutes of Little League Swing Mechanics: Bat Selection Don t allow Dads to think their kid is Paul Bunyon. Generally The following are guidelines for bat sizes per age: 5-6 (physically developing 7s) should use a 26 inch bat. 7-8 (physically developing 9s) should use a 27 inch bat 9-10 (physically developing 11-12) should use 28 inch bat should consider inch bat depending on strength When a hitter cannot swing the bat through hitting zone (A to B) without dipping bat shoulder, the bat is too heavy! Stance and Grip on Bat This is the most critically important aspect to young hitters. This would be the number one (and only?) point of emphasis for T-Ball Age children. See Diagram on White Board Hitters should align Front Foot with Break in plate and they should be off the plate enough that when they extend arms in a swing, barrel of Bat is in the middle of the plate. For older hitters (10-12?) this varies slightly in that you want the Barrel of the bat to be able to effectively hit an outside pitch (see Contact Points) Align your Knocking Knuckles, rest Bat on Shoulder For young hitters, it is critically important they teach themselves this alignment and be able to re-set themselves every pitch. This also underscores why it is important to not pitch or Soft Toss Rapid Fire! Coil and Step This is where the Load and Stride happens. As the Pitcher moves, Batter begins the Coil. This should not be taught before Age 8. When the kids start pitching to one another, it is important they begin to get a sense of this timing. Weight Re-Distribution happens during this phase (60-40?) to create stored energy Step is Short and sweet. Keep front foot pointed in. Front foot should be down when pitchers Front foot lands Hips Lead Hands, Max Torque Concept for Older Kids (Maybe 10 at the earliest?). Upon the pitch releasing from the pitchers hands, violently release the hips keeping hands back. This should happen every pitch, regardless of Ball / Strike. In order to do this successfully, there can be No Fear of the ball (Very difficult!!)
3 Absolutes of Little League Swing Mechanics: Contact Points (Think 9 Contact Points!) Bat advances through the Hitting Zone like flipper of a pin ball game. (Hi-In, Hi-Middle, Hi-Out, Middle-In, Middle-Middle, Middle-Out, Low- In, Low-Middle, Low-Out) Concept of A to B. Bat moves through hitting zone, using stored energy from Coil, without dipping or dragging. From Loaded to Contact Point Follow Through / Common Threads Throughout Swing Batter maintains a quiet, still head. Body is violent while head is quiet & still (Thumb on video camera). Begin Front Shoulder, Ends Back Shoulder with Eyes On Ball throughout the Swing Balanced on each side. Two Hand Follow through Tonight s Hitting Drills: Stress Safety!! Know who is around you!! Tees: Eyes Out at Imaginary Target for older kids. Individual swings. Properly Re-set between each rep Soft Toss: The partner throwing is critically important! 8-10 feet away (5-6 Ft. for Coach Pitch), 45 deg. in front. Show Ball and throw to front hip on a soft line. Hand comes back, hitter coils and steps. Don t throw the ball if the hitter not in a good stance. Front Toss: Same exact concept as Soft Toss except throw from feet in front.
