BEFORE WEEK ONE

Three cues you'll repeat all season.

  1. 01
    “Shake hands with the catcher”
    The release point, arm extended toward the plate.
  2. 02
    “Step to your target”
    Front foot always points at the catcher.
  3. 03
    “Windmill flows like water”
    The arm circle is smooth, never jerky.

The Grip & The Feel

Don't throw anything yet. Just make friends with the ball.

GoalEvery kid holds the ball correctly and isn't intimidated by it. No pressure to throw far or fast.

The Handshake Grip

Sit the team in a circle and give every player a ball. Go through the grip in order: two fingers on top of the seams, thumb underneath, ball on the fingertips, not jammed back in the palm.

Say it
“Hold it like you are showing someone a cookie: do not squish it, just hold it up.”
Why it works
Fingertips give you spin control. Palm kills it.

Foam Ball Wall Toss

Tape a square target at chest height on a fence. Kids toss underhand at it from 5 feet. Foam balls remove fear of stinging hands or wild throws.

Say it
“Count "1, 2, throw" out loud together so they learn rhythm early.”
Why it works
A bright target gives every kid something concrete to aim at. That beats a long lecture.
