re: Baseball workouts for 12-14 year olds (LSU777?)

I tried to get my kids to do plyometrics type workouts and worked on things like balance & agility. Parents got pissy and just wanted more batting practice.

during last 15 min, i encourage strength workouts as in reverse lunges, bear crawls, reverse bear crawls, pushups, knee over toe lunges, broad jumps etc


eventually strength is the limiting factor

driveline has some great practice templates laid out

but i will say in parents defense...if you are not hitting then sure as hell dont run them like so many coaches do. or try and punish the kids with ore running. cant stand that. waste of time.

also coaches need to stop focusing on 1 offs and tons of time on bunt coverage. 8-10 min max time in practice dedicated to that
