🧢 How to Run a Baseball Practice with Only One Coach.

👋 Welcome, Coach!

Running a full youth baseball practice solo can feel like you're coaching with one hand tied behind your back. I’ve been there.

Early on, I set up all the classic stations:

• ⚾ Hitting

• 🧤 Ground Balls

• 🎯 Pitching

• ☁️ Fly Balls

It looked good on paper—but once we got going, it was too much for one coach.

1️⃣ The One-Drill Method

Now, I run just one drill at a time—with the whole team involved.

🔁 The Breakdown:

• Divide your 12 players into 4 groups of 3 (adjust based on numbers)

• Each group lines up single file

• One player performs the drill

• The other two watch and rotate after every rep

  
  

Everyone’s involved. Everyone’s improving.

✅ Why It Works

🧠 Focused Learning

They’re locked in. No bouncing between drills.

🕒 No Lost Time

Kids are either working, watching, or rotating—no one is idle.

🗣️ Real-Time Coaching

I can give direct feedback after each rep.

💥 Team Bonding

The energy stays up when everyone supports each other.

💡 Coach Charles Says:

Keep your drills tight and intentional.Forget the chaos—focus on what gets your players better.

🔊 Final Whistle

You don’t need five stations to run a great practice.You just need a clear plan, solid energy, and the willingness to rotate with purpose.

Your players will grow—and they’ll stay locked in the whole time.
