Concept: Pair players by skill. Start 15ft apart. Goal: 10 consecutive toss-and-catches. Milestone reached? 2 steps back. This builds early hand-eye rhythm and arm heat before we huddle.
Phase 2: Diamond Dogs
0:07 - 0:15
Full team sprints around the bases. Boys MUST cheer their teammates to earn their turn.
Coach Note: Round the bases! If they miss a bag, the time isn't recorded. TOUCH EVERY BASE.
Phase 3: Stretch, Warmup & Focus
0:15 - 0:23
5m Stretch: Transition from energy to FOCUS with a **Stillness Challenge**: See how long they can close their eyes and remain silent/still.
Key Rule Huddle (3m):
Rules: 5-run limit, all bat, 10 in the field.
Philosophy: Take risks! No penalties for missed throws to 1st or home.
Phase 4: "Field Commander" Scramble
0:23 - 0:31
Positional awareness drill. Call out positions and have them sprint to the bag as quickly as possible.
Fielding at SS and 2B. Focus on bag coverage at 2nd and accurate throws to 1st. 8m blocks per cohort.
Cohort B: Cutoff Man
Outfield Focus
Outfielder runs down ball, defers to first teammate, and fires a hard, quick release toward 2B. No running it in!
Phase 6: Live Sim & On-Deck Lab
0:47 - 0:57
Live Sim: 5 swings each. Every contacted ball MUST be fielded and thrown to 1st base (or 2B for cutoff simulation).
Station B (Integrated): 1 coach works with the On-Deck Batter. Focusing on the "Power & Hip-Turn" mechanics. Batter gets several high-quality practice swings before coming to the plate.
Phase 7: The Summit
0:57 - 1:00
Scale the Mountain: Reinforce the incredible progress made today. Remind them to keep breaking in their gloves at home!
True Rockies Spirit: Emphasize being a selfless teammate. Be ready to sit the bench, play the outfield, or bat low in the orderโstay focused, stay supportive, and cheer for your brothers.
