Tee Ball Practice

We put together a baseball book complete with drills and practice plans, and then realized (with help from our readers) that we might be missing a niche of players where learning fundamentals and love of the game is of utmost importance – at the tee ball practice level.

Coaching at the tee ball practice level is not easy either.  Aside from feeling at some points that you are doing well just to get everyone to pay attention.  That’s why the drills and practice plans that you choose are going to be very important. 

To be a successful tee ball coach, you need to mix skill development with fun.  Since these are kids that are generally between the ages of 4 and 7 years old, they aren’t necessarily looking for hard skill development.  This is a time to help them learn the fundamentals but also develop a sense of fun and enjoyment for the game of baseball.

This book is designed to help you with your tee ball practices by outlining 36 tee ball drills and games that will build skill development, but also foster the fun and excitement associated with playing the game.  Then, in typical Drills and Practice Plans we’ve got 10 practice plans with the drills we have included, so you can have a practice laid out for you.

Each of the practices are going to be one hour long, instead of the typical two hours, because most kids will only last that long during a practice before is can become boring for them.  Further, the activities need to be shorter and keep going smoothly, and a shorter practice makes that easier to accommodate.

The drill will be divided into three main areas:

• Hitting
• Fielding / throwing
• Game play

Each drill will show you what you need to run the drill, how to run the drill and then what kind of results you should expect. 

When you get to the Practice Plans, feel free to mix and match drills that work with your team into the plans we have designed.  Some drills are going to be more effective with your team, and you should use those ones!
