8u Rookie Baseball Drills and Plays

This is the standard lineup for Cal Ripken league baseball.  Obviously, actual positions can change depending on the situation.  Drills are great for repetition.  You cannot expect a child to know what to do in a game, if he has never practiced it.  I've seen very talented 7 yr. old players run through second base just as he would at first, only to get tagged by the shortstop.   Then I would hear the coach tell the player that he can't do that, which is fine.  But spending 5 minutes on that in practice would have kept that runner on base, which would have eventually won them the game.  These drills are geared for 8u baseball, but can be used for older and more experience players.

 

Here is my baseball drills and plays page.  Most of these are geared towards 8u rookie baseball, but many can be used for all ages and levels.  Most can be altered for your use.  If you like them, and can use them, great.  If not, that's ok too.  If you have something to add, please send it to me at ericaldhizer(AT)aldhizer.com
