How To Plan A Baseball Practice

Practice design is not as intimidating as one would think. However, for the novice coach, it may be a daunting task. Baseball Zone’s Practice Planner makes it quick and easy. We have a bunch of great drills and formats already in there for you to choose from. Just point, click and print.

Here is a quick template that touches on the most important aspects of a practice for the younger kids:

Warm Up (10 minutes)
Throwing (10-15 minutes)
Individual Skills (30 minutes) 10 Minute Stations
1. Ground balls, fly balls, pitching, etc
Hitting (30 minutes) 10 Minute Stations
1. A. Tees, wiffle toss, batting practice, etc
End With A Game (10 minutes) Optional
1. Base running, throwing, hitting, etc

This practice runs between 80-100 minutes. For the more advanced team, you can add team skills (Cutoffs and relays, bunt defense, 1st and 3rd situations, etc).
