Grab a glove. Try one with her this week.
You don't need to be a coach. Every card walks you through the whole drill — what to set up, what to say, what to watch for, and what to celebrate. Give it five minutes in the backyard after school and watch her light up.
Glove work
6 drills · 30–42 min totalWindshield Wiper
Teach her to move the glove to the ball instead of waiting for it to arrive.
Two-Hand Squeeze
Two hands on every catch so the ball doesn't pop back out.
Belly Button
Fingers up above the waist, fingers down below it. Set the glove first.
Tennis Ball Tracking
Train her eyes to follow the ball into her hands — no glove, no fear.
Short Hop
The ball that bounces isn't scary — it's a gift. Catch it low and clean.
Pop Fly Basics
Look up, get under it, two hands. Own the pop fly instead of dodging it.
Arm & aim
6 drills · 30–42 min totalElbow Up Freeze
Build a strong throwing position before the ball leaves her hand.
Step & Point
Front foot points at the target. Direction and power both live here.
Follow Through
Finish across the body. Don't cut the arm off after release.
Four-Seam Grip
The grip that fixes half her throwing problems. Fingers across the smile.
Target Practice
Every throw has a target. Aim small, miss small.
Quick Catch & Throw
Catch it clean, get rid of it fast. Game-speed footwork.
Bat path
5 drills · 25–35 min totalGrip & Stance Check
A repeatable starting position before we add any swings.
Tee Drill
Consistent contact. A controlled, balanced swing she can repeat.
Soft Toss
Tracking a moving ball and learning timing before facing real pitches.
Level Swing
A bat that stays level through the zone. Shoulder to shoulder, nothing fancy.
Tee Heights
Not every pitch is at her belt. Learn to hit high, middle, and low on demand.
Glove in the grass
3 drills · 15–21 min totalReady Position
The stance every play starts from. Knees bent, weight forward, glove out.
Alligator Hands
Two hands on every ground ball. The alligator mouth snaps shut.
Charge the Ball
Don't let the ball play you. Run at it — slower ball, harder charge.
Feet first
3 drills · 15–21 min totalRun Through First
Don't slow down at first base — sprint through it. You can't be tagged.
Rounding the Base
The curve that turns a single into a double. Take the corner fast.
Feet-First Slide
Legs out, back down, hands up. Arrive at the base safe and quick.
Five minutes. One drill. A smile.
