HOW TO RUN A 5 PITCH PRACTICE

• Practices last 60-90 minutes in duration (based on field availability).

• Make sure to introduce yourself to the parents and players at first practice.

• Team cheer to start practice.

• Typical practice plan: Stretching (5 minutes), learning to run the bases (15 minutes), learning the positions (15 minutes), split up team into 3 groups for 3 stations run by the coaches and/or parents - hitting, fielding, throwing (30 mins - 10 mins each station).

• Team cheer at the end of practice and give out snacks.
