TEE BALL COACHING TIP: TEACHING PLAYERS TO CATCH THE BALL

The Little League® Tee Ball program is focused on bringing fun, fitness and fundamentals to its youngest players and newest volunteers. As a part of this program, Little League partnered with SKLZ to provide Tee Ball coaches with online training related to various components of the program.

This month, we take a look at teaching one of the most difficult skills for a tee baller to master - catching the ball. The online training segment below covers a three-step teaching method.

The method consists of:

Teaching the basket catch
Teaching to catch the ball with the hands up
Teaching to catch the ball with two hands
