The drills

Each one, coach-ready

Warm-up · 5 min · Whole team (all move at once)

Run the Bases

Base order and direction, plus an aerobic warm-up that raises heart rate before any instruction starts.

Fixes: The signature tee-ball error: running to third instead of first, or running at the pitcher's mound. Coach calls each base name as they jog to it, wiring the sequence.

Bases or throw-down bases

Throwing · 7 min · 2 teams; every kid holds their own ball

Step-and-Throw to a Target (Hit the Bucket)

Throwing at a target rather than throwing at nothing, and stepping with the opposite foot.

Fixes: Same-side step - the most common tee-ball throwing flaw. Little League's coaching point is that coaches 'demonstrate stepping with the opposite foot when throwing.'

Infield · 8 min · Pairs - 1 adult rolling to 1-2 kids

Alligator Hands

Two-hand ground-ball technique: athletic stance with lowered torso and bent knees, glove hand low with throwing hand on top to 'simulate an alligator mouth,' then pull glove and ball toward the stomach.

Fixes: One-handed stabbing, and the ball squirting back out of the glove.

GlovesRolled baseballs or tennis balls

Position work · 8 min · Full infield, 6-9

Ball or Base (Bucket Defense)

Each player must make one decision per batted ball: go get the ball, OR go cover a base. Never both. Coaching point: 'The Base is for the Runner.'

Fixes: THE defining tee-ball defensive failure - all nine players swarming the ball in a pile.

Hitting · 12 min · 1 kid per tee - 3-4 hitting simultaneously

Multi-Tee Hitting Station

Contact and head control. Little League's cue is 'Face the Ball.'

Fixes: Missing the ball entirely. Little League states the tee is 'the best tool to allow hitters to first simply learn how to make contact' because 'putting the bat on the ball is the biggest issue for young kids.'

Sharks and Minnows

All-out sprinting, change of direction, and reacting to a live cue - wrapped in a game with an obvious winner.

Fixes: The energy crash at the end of a tee-ball practice. Ends on maximum engagement instead of drifting attention.
