5 to 8 Instructional Series

Younger players, ages 5 to 8, typically have a very short attention span and learn best by doing - not by listening. This level represents the widest range of skills, attitudes and experience of any group of players in baseball or softball. The resources in this instructional series help coaches learn how to keep players active and eliminate activities where players have to stand around waiting for their turn.

The resources provide photo sequences of the skills being performed the proper way, extra coaching tips and specific information on how to correct common mistakes. Also included are age appropriate warm-up exercises, a practice planner, coaching checklist and tips on how to get parents involved. Players and their parents are also presented with a comprehensive list of activities players can do at practice or at home.

This instructional series is designed to provide young players and their parents with a fun, introductory experience to baseball and softball.
