How to Take a Tee Ball Team to Batting Cages

While it may be unorthodox, taking your tee ball team to batting cages can solve a couple of the major problems with tee ball teams and coaching. Because every player gets to bat at the same time, everyone gets more repetitions. In addition, you can help build confidence because you can offer suggestions to the players individually. Follow these tips to get the tee ball troops to the batting cages.

      Call the local batting cages to find out about hours and prices, particularly group rates. Also find out whether they have enough tees to suit your team. Asking these questions can help to determine which batting cage facility best suits the tee ball players.

      Load the tee ball team into the vehicles and head out for the batting cages. When you arrive, have the children get out and wait quietly while you set up the arrangements. You must explain to the parents and players where to go and send the players in small groups.

      Spend your time walking from cage to cage and giving instructions. Have the players try out different bats. Even at a young age, the type and length of bat matters, and the batting cages give the perfect opportunity to try out new equipment without spending any money. Tee ball players are just learning the fundamentals, but you can help them work on their stance and swing by watching them hit against a machine.
