1. Welcome Coaches

3. Family first Academics Baseball – There are many ways to play this game! Aggressive, Aggressive, Aggressive! Philosophy

4. – Look to make the players better every time you take the field – Don’t put too much stress on winning at the younger levels – Try to have players play as many positions as possible (don’t pigeonhole a player) – Have players hustle everywhere, all the time, it’s the Storm Way! – Make baseball fun with competitive drills Philosophy continued

5. Teaching tips (everyone hits differently!) – Stance Be on balls of your feet (hit on 2x4) Balanced – Load Get to a position to swing – Stride (optional) – Swing – “Explode!” Down angle Hitting Don’t get caught up in all the gimmicks! Don’t be afraid to SWING THE BAT! Make the kids learn their pitch!

6. Tips to teach: – Athletic stance “ready position” – Be on your toes (balls of your feet) – Glove up and open – Righty- Right - left - field, right – left (step in front) – throw – Lefty Left – right- field, left – right (step in front) - throw Fielding

7. Fastball and change-up! Don’t become a one pitch pitcher! Work on becoming a fielder after pitching PFPs- pitcher fielding practice CJ can add more to this! Pitching

8. Teaching Tips: – Be aggressive! – Put the pressure on the defense! – We go hard ALL THE TIME (Storm Way!) Base running

9. Base running (this would be conditioning so work hard!!) – Single – sprint through 1 st base, breakdown and look over right shoulder – looking for pass balls – Single w/round- round like you are going for second! Put the pressure on the OF! – Double – working on rounding first base with a good turn – hit CORNER of base! – Triple – focus on your rounds, inside corners of base/ work on tagging up! – Leads off first – work on your jump/ work on tagging up! – Leads off second –work on your jump/ work on tagging up! Leads off third- be in FOUL territory! Base running

10. Bunt Defense Key is COMMUNICATION! – Everything should be covered 3 plays: (situation will dictate what we want to do) – Runner on first – Runner past second – Wheel Bunt Defense Bunt Offense Runner on 1 st – Bunt to 1 st Runner gets on 2 nd - Bunt to 3rd

11. DO NOT SQUARE HIPS exposing your lower half! Level bat ASAP and stay on top! Catch the ball keeping head down! Hand placement Sacrifice Bunting
