Conditioning baseball coaching tips
Youth leagues tryouts for the upcoming baseball season usually take place in
February and March. If you haven't already begun, now is the time for players
and coaches to start preparation. Start conditioning easily and work those
baseball muscles into shape gradually. DON'T make the mistake of throwing and
swinging "all-out" immediately. In many cases, overexertion can result
in injury. Here are some fall and wintertime tips I recommend before the weather
breaks next spring:
STRETCHING: Baseball players should involve themselves in simple stretching
exercises every day. Work those hamstrings and lower back muscles for the
running you'll do in the springtime. Take special care to loosen up arm and
shoulder muscles. "Reach for the Sky," "Swing your arms in
Circles," really get the blood flowing.
THROWING: I don't advise playing catch outside in less than 40-degree weather.
Even then, exercise caution. Try to find gym time where players can toss and
work on throwing and receiving mechanics. Don't let the players "air it
out" and throw hard in these early sessions. Pitchers can work on their
form and mechanics, and throw easily using the "5 Steps of Pitching."
BATTING: The ideal is to secure indoor batting cage time, but there are easy
drills that you can do right in your garage or basement. Have players start by
just swinging the bat 10, 20, 30 times a day correctly. Make sure the swings are
done correctly and with balance. No "chopping wood" or hacking when
they get tired. Build up the repetitions over time. Soft toss wiffle golf balls
or even more inexpensively, roll up white adhesive tape into balls and soft toss
them. You get a great number of repetitions and you don't break things as you
perform these baseball coaching tips.
