Coach Bernhardt leads this Little League Tee Ball series on the basics of hitting. Remember his words as you progress through this series, that as a young athlete, there's nothing more fun than hitting.
As a coach, you want your players to have success at the plate, so be sure to set the tee correctly in height and position. When your player makes contact, they'll remember that, and they'll want to keep playing.
This series was created in cooperation with Little League and Baseball Factory. The tips in this series will help you learn to coach fielding skills to Tee Ball level players.
Catching the ball is a difficult thing to teach, but if you use the building block progression described in this video, your players will often be able to track and catch fly balls.
Steve Bernhardt of Baseball Factory offers some advice when transitioning youth players off the tee. It all starts by getting in the box with a proper stance.
