Call it alligator catching...
Have the players put their glove down close to the ground for grounders. Also, have them position the other hand on the heel of the glove. Otherwise, the ball may pop up and hit the player in the face. Close the jaws of the alligator.

Batting tips...
Repeatedly say, "Watch the ball until the ball hits the bat." If the player squares up to the plate, the ball will be hit to first base. Instruct the batter to move the lead foot back from the plate so the ball is not hit towards first base for an easy out.

Improving a hitters swing...
Practice hitting from the tee into the back stop. Have the coach stand on the other side of the tee from the player (mirror image) and show proper stance and swing. The gives the batters a good visual reference and the coaches can make corrections easily.

Set the tee even with the players belly button and have them extend their arms fully. Say, "measure up," and explain to the batter how hitting the ball on the fat part of the bat makes the ball go further. This helps each batter stand the appropriate distance away from the ball, and swing level.

Have the player(s) make an L shape with their throwing arm, and concentrate on hitting the coach's nose with the ball.

Line kids up in groups of two. Touch hands at start. Each time they catch three in a row, each player takes a step backwards.

Baserunning/Fielding Drill

Each player line up on first base side of home. Position a coach five to ten feet behind first base, and just outside the base line, to give each player a high five as they run through. After one rotation, have half the team go to the mound and half the team line up well behind the plate. Have coach play first base. Place an object (i.e. a bat bag) down the first base line. Instruct all batters to take a practice swing and carry the bat to that object and drop the bat at that point. Roll a ball to the mound and have the pitcher try to get the runner out. Batter/baserunner goes to the end of the line at the mound. Pitcher goes to the end of the line at the plate. Quiz baserunner on positions before his/her turn.
