Striking/fielding lesson plan.

Lesson Plan: Striking/Fielding
Class : Grade 2
The objective is to teach students where to hit a ball, how to cover the field and how to field ground balls. In addition, students build on their previous knowledge of baseball and begin to visually conceptualize how a formal game of baseball is played. Students will also be able to gain confidence and interpersonal skills by working in small groups and playing with the class in an inclusive and non-competitive environment.
B4 demonstrate proper technique for performing specific manipulative movement skills including but not limited to the following: one-handed throw underhand two-handed catch without trapping against body
C1 demonstrate safe behaviours when participating in physical activity (e.g., listening to and following directions, staying within activity boundaries, participating in appropriate warm-up activities, making sure the activity space is free of obstacles)
Equipment Required :
- Mats (enough for each fielder)
- Ball (small- one that bounces tennis ball)
- Soft kicking ball
- Hula hoops
- Cones (small)
Safety: mats are too slippery, tennis balls may be too hard (move to softer ball)
Entry Activity:
Musical Hula-hoops: (5 minutes- Pamela will lead)
This is a warm up activity for a grade 2 PE class. Each student grabs a hula-hoop and places it on the ground to form part of a big circle. The teacher plays music and asks the students to dance outside the circle formed by the hula-hoops (with instructions such as dance like a bird, dance like a bunny). After each round, the teacher will remove 5 hula-hoops. Students need to step into one hula-hoop when the music ends. Students may share the hula-hoops when the music ends. We will start with one person per each hoop then go down to 5-6 people per hoop. To meet the needs of the student we will clarify if they understand by asking them. During the activity, we can look for the overall engagement of the students and how well they seem to be interacting with each other.
Skill Development and Practice:
In- Coming: (10 minutes- Pamela will lead and Sonya and Emily will demonstrate)
Divide the class into six groups. Each group will have a hula-hoop in the corner of the gym. In the middle of the gym are a bunch of balls. When the teacher says go, one person from each group will grab a ball from the middle of the gym and throw it down to each player and the last player will put the ball in the hula-hoop. (students cannot form one line and pass, they should be diagonal from each other). That person will then run to the front of the line and grab a ball and throw it down the line. Each player on your team has to have a chance to be it. The first team to get all of their balls in the hula- hoop wins. This allows your students to practice throwing while working as a team. This prepares them for the next activity by using teamwork, throwing and running skills.
Culminating Activity :
Striking Game: (15 minutes- Sonya will lead and Pamela and Emily will demonstrate)
This is a game that all students participate. There are three parts to this game. First, you will have fielders who each have a mat in the open gym and then you have the batters who are standing against a wall with a ball. When the music starts the batters throw their ball and try to touch every base with their hand while the fielders collect the ball and run to the wall. When the music stops it means every fielder got a ball and the batter has to quickly find a mat. When that is done each team switches. Now the fielders are the batters and the batters are the fielders. Next, instead of the batters throwing the ball they have to bounce the ball and then run to each base. When that is done you can switch. The final is kicking a ball. In this exercise batters are practicing how to run to different bases and the fielders get to practice catching balls in the air, catching them while they are bouncing or rolling on the ground. During the game, we will watch for how strong students are able to throw the ball and their ability to navigate and run to different bases.
Yoga: (5 minutes- Emily will lead)
Stretching exercises to cool down their body. Ask students how they felt about the activity and reflect on different strategies that they learned.
Meeting the needs of diverse learners
Physical: use music and rhythm skills, develop specialized skills (throwing, catching and bouncing)
Cognitive: have games that everyone can participate in, allow students to be creative in their animal choices. Be able to have an abstract conception of how baseball is structured (batters and fielders).
Affective: Use entire group sparingly and allow every student to feel included in the activities. Play in smaller groups initially to increase teamwork and play in a non-competitive larger class game which allows students to develop baseball skills without comparing themselves to others.
Modifying/adapting lesson:
Students are able to run at their own pace. It is not a competition on how many bases you can get. If students find that the little tennis balls are too hard to throw we can move to bigger balls.
Evaluation Strategies:
Observation -observe students level of engagement and confidence, cooperation in small groups and the ability to throw and run bases as they’re performing the activities
. Self-Reflection -ask the students about their general knowledge of baseball (ie. batters and fielders) as well as reflect on the strategies they learned during the activities. Receive students feedback about how the activities went and engage them in the learning process.

Baseball Practice Plans: Effective Drills for All Ages
Baseball practice plans help coaches run efficient practices. They structure drills and activities to improve players' skills. Well-organized plans make the most of limited practice time. Players stay active in focused training. Practice plans benefit players of all ages.
Good plans warm up muscles to prevent injury. Players stretch and throw to get ready. Coaches make activities fun so players learn. Drills help players master key baseball skills. For example, players take batting practice to improve hitting. Doing drills over and over builds muscle memory. Scrimmages let players practice skills in game situations.
The next sections explain making plans for different ages. They also cover important parts of practice. Like skill drills and team activities. Tips help coaches make effective plans.
Planning an effective baseball practice is important. Good plans help players improve their skills and get ready for games. Here are tips to make baseball practices fun and helpful for players of all ages.
Warm-Ups and Stretching
Starting practice with warm-ups gets players ready to play. Stretching prevents injuries. Some good warm-ups are:
- Jogging a few laps to get blood pumping
- Arm circles to loosen shoulders
- Toe touches to stretch legs
- Throwing to warm up arms
Dynamic warm-ups like these are better than static stretching. They help players stay focused too.
Fundamental Skill Building
Practicing fundamentals like throwing, catching, and hitting builds muscle memory. Players need to repeat proper techniques many times. Fun drill ideas are:
- Throwing - Play catch starting close together and moving back
- Catching - Toss tennis balls and have players catch different ways
- Hitting - Soft toss into a net to work on swing form
Mixing things up keeps their interest. Break down skills into simple steps too.
Situation Drills
Situation drills help players apply skills in game contexts:
- Run bases like in a real game
- Take simulated at-bats off a coach pitching
- Scrimmage with team members
These are more fun than just doing drills. They teach decision making too.
Practice Structure
Good structure keeps things running smoothly:
- Create a consistent routine
- Use stations so players rotate between skills
- Have coaches lead each station
- Set time limits for each station
This way more gets done and players stay busy.
85% of coaches said structure is "very important" for practices
Practice Games
Ending with a scrimmage game is fun. It lets players try skills they worked on. Some practice game ideas:
- Play a few innings
- Create fun scenarios like a close game in the last inning
- Focus on specific skills like bunting or base running
Scrimmages should be competitive but also fun. Mix up teams each time so players work with others.
Use Training Aids
Adding training aids can boost skills too. Products from Field Sports Training like:
- Hitting nets for batting practice
- Fielder's Dome Mat to improve catching ground balls
- Pitching Alley for accuracy when throwing
These make skills work more game-like. They build player confidence too. Check their website to find products that can help your players!
Effective Drills & Formats for All Ages
Baseball practice is very important. It helps players get better at the game. Coaches must plan good practices for their teams. Here are tips for planning baseball practices for players of all ages.
Little League and Youth Players
Younger baseball players have short attention spans. They want to have fun. Coaches should make drills into games to keep their interest. Here are some ideas:
- Play catch games with partners to practice throwing and catching
- Hit soft toss into a net and keep score of hits to work on batting skills
- Run bases like a race with teams to improve speed and base running
It is also key to focus on the fundamentals. These are the basic skills every baseball player needs:
- Throwing and catching the ball correctly
- Hitting line drives
- Fielding ground balls without errors
- Knowing where to throw the ball from each position
Mastering the fundamentals early on will help young players as they get older.
Middle/High School Players
Middle and high school players are more advanced. They are ready for complex drills to take their skills to the next level. Coaches can set up situations to get players ready for game action:
- Simulate game innings with batters, fielders and base runners
- Practice bunt coverages with various bunt plays
- Work on pick off moves for pitchers and catchers
Players can also break into groups by position. For example:
- Outfielders work on catching fly balls
- Infielders field grounders from a coach
- Pitchers practice pick off throws to bases
These drills build position-specific skills for game situations.
General Tips
There are some key things coaches should do at any age:
- Challenge players but don't make drills too hard
- Mix individual, small group and team drills
- Change routines often to prevent boredom
It also helps to set practice goals and track player progress. Seeing improvement will motivate players to keep working hard.
Here is a table with the number of players on youth baseball teams by age:
Having a plan with effective use of time is key. Players will stay engaged and get better faster.

Here are 10 frequently asked questions about baseball practice plans with answers in paragraph form using Markdown format:
Frequently Asked Questions about Baseball Practice Plans
What should be included in a typical baseball practice plan.
A typical baseball practice plan should include some time for warming up, stretching, and light drills. The main part of practice should focus on specific skills like hitting, fielding, pitching, and base running. It's also a good idea to include some scrimmage time at the end of practice to allow players to apply the skills they worked on.
How long should each baseball practice be?
Most baseball practices last around 1-2 hours depending on the age group. For younger age groups like little league, 1 hour is sufficient. For high school and older players, practices can last up to 2 hours while still allowing adequate time for warmups, drills, skills work, and scrimmage. It's important not to overdo the length which could cause fatigue and decrease focus.
How do I structure the different stations in a practice plan?
When setting up stations, group players by position or skill level when possible. Rotate groups every 10-15 minutes through hitting, fielding, pitching/catching stations. Assign a coach to each station and provide specific drills and instructions. Leave some open space in the outfield for base running practice. Having multiple focused stations keeps players actively engaged and allows the coach to provide individual attention to different skills.
What skills should be emphasized at different ages?
For younger ages, focus more on fundamentals like throwing, catching, batting stance and swing. As players get older, emphasize game situations, strategy and advanced mechanics. High school practices focus on fine-tuning all skills to a varsity level along with game-like scenarios and conditioning. Tailor the level of each drill to the appropriate age and ability of your players.
How do I create practice plans tailored for specific positions?
For each position, focus the majority of drill time on the key skills for that position. For example, infielders should spend more time on fielding ground balls at different angles, turning double plays and throwing across the diamond. Outfielders need fly ball tracking and throwing drills. Pitchers and catchers need dedicated time for pitching/catching mechanics and conditioning. Tailor position-specific drills while still including some full-team activities.
How can I add conditioning and strength training to practice?
Incorporate short conditioning segments like running laps, sprints or agility drills between skill stations. On days focused more on conditioning, do baseball-specific exercises like wall sits with a ball, lunges with a bat, or plyometrics like jumping and throwing. Consider partnering with a strength coach for off-season programming. Keep conditioning segments short (5-10 minutes) when mixed into practice to maintain energy for skills work.
How do I keep players engaged and focused during practice?
Use a variety of fast-paced drills that challenge players both physically and mentally. Rotate stations frequently and encourage competition and team challenges to add fun. Involve assistant coaches to help demonstrate and provide feedback. Maintain a positive and encouraging environment. Consider rewards or incentives for focus and effort. Communicate clear expectations and keep explanations/instruction brief and energetic to hold players' attention spans.
How do I modify practice plans for indoor/inclement weather?
When weather forces practice indoors, shift the focus to agility, conditioning and skills that don't require a full field like hitting/pitching mechanics. Get creative with space limitations using batting cages, throw-against-the-wall drills or taped field shapes on the floor. Incorporate calisthenics or ball handling exercises. Emphasize mental preparation through video review or imaginary game scenarios. Keep players moving to maximize time and avoid boredom in a confined space.
How should I document and organize my practice plans?
Maintain a binder, notebook or digital file with detailed practice plans organized by date. Include goals, a timed schedule of stations/activities and notes. Print extras for assistant coaches. Take notes during/after each practice on what went well or needs improvement to refine future plans. Consider using a template to keep plans consistent and well-structured. Backup digital files in case of lost or damaged plans. Revisit and tweak plans regularly based on the team's progress and needs.
