Hitting a small round ball can be tough to learn, even when it's not moving anywhere! If you're looking for a fun way to help your kids with hitting, here is a drill my kids would call their most favoritist.
Step 1: Get a baseball bat, long stick, old broom handle, an old vaccuum cleaner handle or anything similar.
Step 2: Go to your recycling bin and pull outthe plastic bottles.
Step 3: Tell your kids to go to town.
For this drill we're not worried too much about the technical side of batting - this is all about developing confidence and hand - eye co-ordination.
You can vary the drill by having bottles on a pedestal/wall, hanging the bottles from a clothes line or tree and by throwing the bottles in the air to be hit. From here you can move to hitting things like rugby or footballs, smaller balls and end up giving them baseballs or tennis balls to hit.
Have a go and let me know how you get on!
All the best.
Paul.
