Practice PlanHaving a written practice plan ahead of time will help you focus on and accomplish your practice goals. Planning will keep all of your players working on something. You do not want any player standing around being bored. You can organize your own plan and incorporate other drills you have learned.

Coaching-Fastpitch Practice Plan NewsletterThis season, I am coaching a young 12U team. We will be practicing twice a week until the season starts, then we will only practice once per week. We play games two nights per week and we will be doing tournaments. I will be writing an agenda for each week and I will send my plan to you through the Coaching-Fastpitch newsletter. This agenda that I will be using would be good for 10U and 12U teams. When the issues go out each week, I will archive a copy. Click here to see past issues of this newsletter. That way, if you do not sign up until week five of the season, you will be able to catch up with what I have done during my practices. You will also have access to the Fastpitch Drills page which details the drills that will be on the Coaching-Fastpitch newsletter. You can follow my plan if you like, you can modify it is you like or you can create your own plan if you like.The batting circuit described below will cycle your team through several stations in a timely manor. The plan will help you focus on and accomplish your goals. I like to keep pitching practice to one hour with a water break about half way through. I keep this completely separate from other team practices. I do not want to distract from the goal for each event. I also like to involve my catchers so they get a little extra work and grow right along with the other half of the battery. From Practice Plan Return to Coaching-Fastpitch Home Page |
