Practice Plan for Sunday

(From April 25)

Saturday was very productive; the relay throws will sink in eventually. Repetition will work its magic.

For tomorrow, hitting, fielding, scrimmaging and base running.

Players expected to be absent: Khalid and Eubank.

Amy will also be absent.

Again, let's break the boys into two groups -- alternating groups of three, three and four will hit the cage for BP; the remaining seven will be in the infield for a game of "10."

Let's keep BP fast and tight -- 10 minutes per group, 7 pitches in the cage per hitter. Hitters not in the cage hit the stick and hit soft toss.

The 7 boys in the field will practice fielding, 10 minutes per group.

The we will scrimmage 5x5 for 35 minutes.

Wrap up with 10 minutes of baserunning.
