Man, I just want to say that I've been around the game a long time and I have mad props for the way you break down these teaching mechanics for these t ballers! This is where it starts! Thank you.
As a first time coach AND coaching 3-4 year olds, a big THANK YOU for doing these videos! You have helped me so much with practice planning, how to explain it so they understand and how to keep them engaged. I've been so anxious because I want to do right by the little ones and help develop their fundamentals. Again, thank you!
Want to THANK YOU for all your tips. I'm a new tball mom and watching your stuff has really helped my and my daughter. I've noticed a huge self esteem shift in my daughter after using some of your tips. It really helped her understand the tball concept. Your awesome!! Gracias
My son just started T-ball and you literally just explained what ALL this kids were doing 🤣 they would hit the ball and go get the ball instead of running the bases. It was the funniest thing
Yes they do it’s hilarious. That’s why I started using the ball and string cause I wanted them to run and stop chasing the ball. 😂 they eventually get it but it does take some time.
@mr.sportscoach6965 Hello great video I've been Coaching over 30 years but this best I've seen. How did u make ball and string? Can u list exactly the materials and process. Ex length of string, thickness. My sister work at Home Depot that all I know lol. Thx
@@btown94703 I didn’t measure the string. Long enough so there is a little slack when they hit the ball. About 6-8 ft. I used a practice wiffle ball and just made a knot inside it. I also used some thin rope. Thin enough that it can go through the ball to make a knot and strong enough that it will not break.
Thanks for replying.. hope this drill works for you. Usually I try to have 4 coaches for a large group where each coach is with 3-4 kids each doing a separate drill. It does get difficult trying to do these drills with more but it can be done. I use the spots and make sure they are on them and waiting their turn. Parents are usually watching and trying to help keep there child focus. I try to be loud and entertaining so the kids waiting are focused on the drill since they get easily distracted.
@@mr.sportscoach6965 Thanks coach , first time coaching 4-6 year olds it's a bit challenging because they get easley distracted but I'm definitely keeping what you said in mind
first time coach here and first practice is tomorrow. you're videos are amazing. love all the coaching lingo that kids can understand like the "measure up". Thanks for sharing.
My kid started t-ball last summer and your videos were of great help. His t-ball team doesn't have a coach or manager this year. I am volunteering until they find one. Any pointers?
That is great. Have patience. Use spots and use these drills. Get 3 other coaches and make stations. Kids want to have fun and they want to be moving. They get bored just standing around. What age group are you coaching?
@@mr.sportscoach6965 the age group is 3-4 with the possibility of a couple 2 year olds. I know very little about baseball. Your videos are really helpful
Glad my videos help you. Be loud and energetic. That are you definitely need to use spots to get them where you want to be. . Start off running the bases and have them follow the leader, you. You will need to run with them or if you don’t want to make someone else be the leader. Always give breaks after each drill. And when you give them a water break make them run the bases first and then huddle them and have them break out with their team name. I usually do 1,2,3 Baseball. When running bases and they are coming to home plate have them touch the home base and then keep running to the fence. They like to stop at home and not move from there. All else fails have them run the bases. They want to be moving.
In my case my son gonna have his very first practice in 2 days no idea if is he is gonna like it I just want him socialize with children and have fun 😀
That is great.. hope he does like it. My son started at age 2 and he loved it. He Would fall asleep on the fence. We were at the ball park all day. Fun times great memories…
My son is almost 4 and he loves playing baseball with his dad. This was very helpful. Thank you for sharing these tips. Do you have any recommendations for equipments? He’s just using the Little Tikes one for now but wanted to upgrade his gears.
Glad they helped you. When getting equipment for a 4 year old get the lightest equipment you can find. TBall bats with a weight of 11-13 oz are great. When it comes to a glove, 4 year olds will find it hard to close it. 9.5 to a 10.5 would be good. I have a good catching video up. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching..
Thanks for your comment Jrodtwo3. I always value everyone’s opinion and questions. If you have coached 3 and 4, especially beginners in a non competitive league, before you would understand that 3-4 year olds are just that 3-4 year olds. They want to have fun. Once all fun is gone they lose interest. I want my players to see the fun in playing this sport or any sport. I understand about bad habits but like in this video I try not to go to in depth on where to make contact. I just want them trying to hit and and have fun. You have to remember these drills are used during a practice that has about 10 three and four year olds with an attention span of at the most 15 to 20 minutes on a good day. I just want them to have success hitting the ball wherever they hit it at. If I was teaching them one on one and had the entire time with them individually then it would make sense teaching them all the techniques. Of the 17 years I have coaching 3-4 year olds I have found out that as long as I am not teaching them a habit, or enforcing a habit then I can not be teaching them bad habits. Do kids come with their own habits that are wrong, yes. Can they be corrected, of course. 3-4’s just want to have fun. And once they are having fun and are loving the game then they will absorb everything you teach them because they want to get better.
Brother if you don’t teach them to get behind a baseball your taking years of correcting the swing. I understand the attention span but you still have to show the the correct way to hit the ball. I’ve played baseball for 20 plus years and had a very good career. One thing I wish was knowing what I know today that I start at a very young age
@@Jrodtwo3 playing and coaching are two different things especially if the ones you are coaching are three and four years. If you haven’t coached 3-4 year olds it’s an experience. I recommend that if you played 20 years you start coaching at 3-4 years so you can begin from their beginning. Be sure to coach a team and not just individuals or just your child. These drills are for allowing them to have fun. At this age division most noncompetitive leagues only practice once a week. You can teach them something all practice and the next practice they will forget. Once they start getting in their 5 or 6 age group start being a little more technical cause they are sponges and can retain quite a bit. The practices are longer. If it’s competitive then yes teach them correctly. 3-4 year olds will not retain this habit after one practice but they will remember how fun it was. You need to go by baby steps with them. If you want to try to be technical with them by all means get after it. But try it on another child that is not yours and has focus problems like most do at 3-4 year olds. If it’s your child you can handle them different but someone else’s child that is different. Remember these drills are great for all levels of play and after you watch the drill you can do whatever you want with it at your practice. Let me know how it goes. I like hearing how my drills helped or didn’t help their team. Thanks for your comments. Just remember this drill was made to get them hitting and running the bases correctly. Keeps the child moving. I am not to worried about where they are making contact just as long as they do make contact. That is what the player wants as well. I can correct everything as they continue to play. It won’t become a bad habit because I don’t put a lot of emphasis on it. All my drills are about letting kids have fun because that is what they all want. Thanks again.
@@mr.sportscoach6965 I think it’s a great drill. Just gets the kids out there and having fun and getting them involved in the game and the little base running is a really nice touch. I think 99% of kids that young would be bored out of their mind if you try to teach them every little thing. It won’t be fun for them. They won’t remember it and won’t translate to anything. If they remember having a good time and being with friends they will continue playing and later learn the finer nuances to the game as they grow up. Nice job with the video 👍
@@scottl9984 yes sir, you understand.. if they have fun they will want to continue to play which is what I hope for all the kids I coach. Once they are hooked then let’s break them done and put more emphasis on the little things. Thanks for your comment..

What I don’t understand why are you teaching the kids to make contact right on the ball your teaching bad habits
