We try to make it fun and interesting for the kids by introducing a new skill each practice. In this age group, fundamentals are just the beginning. Having them pay attention seems to be the hardest to do...so we break it up into different areas so each kid isn't standing around waiting for a ball to be hit to him. We have one group go into the batting cage and rotate. We work with our infielders, gradually building them up into game situations. Outfielders also have their own session, taking pop ups and grounders and hitting the cut-off man each time. We usually introduce a new skill, anything from something as simple as running on the inside corners of the bag to having them pickup the 1st/3rd base coaches as they are running. Then towards the end of the practice, we'll have a short 2 inning scrimmage (kids really love this part).
