This video has been called “the bible of Little League baseball practices”. During more than a twenty years of coaching youth baseball teams, Marty Schupak realized that he kept seeing coaches and teams put hour after hour into practices that became so repetitive that they served only to bore the Little Leaguers forced to endure them. He sought to remedy the problem by devising practice routines that can take 60-90 minutes if organized correctly! The practices which consist of drills that the kids will not only find fun and interesting, but will help them consistently develop their baseball skills. In this video, Schupak and a band of Little Leaguers demonstrate 35 different drills that can be used on the practice field with an entire team as well as by parents and children in a backyard session. The drills focus on basics such as base running, hitting, and fielding, but they often provide a wrinkle designed to keep the kids enthused, such as a defensive drill in which fielders practice throwing from third to first while in a kneeling position, or hitting drills in which a very soft ball made of old rags and masking tape is used. This video is not flashy yet the camera work is very professional, and the practical advice is imparted in an engaging manner. This is appropriate for Little League coaches and parents of players 7-12 years old. The instruction in this video offers, baseball drills,baseball fundamentals, baseball skills,baseball tips, little league coaching
