In our local rec league that I volunteer for we have a huge deficiency in pitching skills. So this year I stepped back from coaching a team to run a weekly beginners pitching clinic. I am no pitching coach but I have learned a lot here on DFP from the many knowledgeable folks which has been put to use training my own 10u daughter. The object of this clinic is to get girls started early with a solid set of I/R fundamentals so that when they get to the circle at 10u they will be in a much better place. Last week was a huge success as i had a big turnout with mostly 7-10yo and a few older girls. One of my struggles is how to keep the girls engaged and attentive while learning the basic drills such as lock-it-in etc. Would love some suggestions on fun drills to run that incorporate good i/r technique while keeping 7-11yo girls attention for an hour.
