The Crouch

The catcher's stance is the foundation of everything else they'll do behind the plate.

GoalEvery kid can hold a proper crouch for 30 seconds without adjusting.

Wall Crouch

Back against the wall, slide down into catching stance. Wall keeps their back straight and weight forward. Hold for 10 seconds, stand, repeat.

Say it
“Weight on your toes, not your heels. Toes stay on the ground.”
Why it works
Wall gives instant feedback on back angle, no coaching needed for the first rep.
