HITTING
Teaching a student to hit a Baseball or softball requires a combination of instruction and practice from the student and the parent. Starting by having the player stand at the plate with their feet shoulder-width apart, holding the bat with both hands. Show them how to keep their eyes on the ball and use a smooth swing path to make contact with the ball.
THROWING
Teaching a kid to throw a baseball or softball can be a fun and rewarding experience for the player and parent. Instruction consist of standing with their feet shoulder-width apart and pointing at their target. Show them how to grip the ball with their fingertips and bring their arm back behind their body. Regular practice can help the child become a confident and accurate thrower.
CATCHING
Teaching a student to catch a baseball or softball involves several steps. We can start by using a soft, lightweight ball that is easy for the player to handle. Show them how to place their glove in front of them with the pocket facing up. Teach the player to use two hands to catch the ball, which can help increase their confidence and control. Regular practice sessions and positive reinforcement can help build the students confidence to catching and receiving the ball!
