Player Swing Tracking Form


Second Homework Assignment

Coach gave your boys an assignment to take 50 dry swings every day. You can make sure every one of those swings involves each step of the swing sequence. If you have questions, or need coaches help explaining the swing sequence –please come to Wednesdays practice and he will personally walk you through it step by step.
  
So here is our plan to progress our hitting drills optimally:

1.  Master the dry swing first (it helps to look in a mirror if you have one and see the movement, if you don’t have a mirror video tape them on your phone and watch together and discuss)
2.  We will conquer the swing by working off the tee. (this will be a large part of our hitting action until our swings are grooved)
3.  Once a player can repeat the "right" technique off the tee, then they will advance to soft toss.
4.  After they become consistent at soft toss, then we will go to live underhand front toss from about 40 feet, and ultimately
5.  Once technique mastery has been shown in the last 4 stages, then and ONLY THEN we will progress to live batting practice.
