Coach Pitch (Ages 7–8)
Our Coach Pitch program helps 7–8 year olds gain confidence facing live, coach-pitched balls while building strong hitting mechanics, fielding fundamentals, and game awareness—all in a fun, encouraging team environment.
Spots are limited so every player gets plenty of at-bats, coach support, and field time. Save your child’s roster spot today!
What They’ll Learn
Coach Pitch builds the bridge from T-Ball to kid pitch. With a supportive coach on the mound, players learn to track live pitches, make plays in the field, and communicate with teammates so they’re ready for real game action.
- Hitting Live Pitching: Reading the ball out of the coach’s hand, timing their swing, and putting the ball in play.
- Infield & Outfield Positions: Where to stand, how to get into ready position, and where to throw the ball.
- Game Situations: Force plays, tagging up, cut-off throws, and what to do when the ball is hit to them.
- Teamwork & Communication: Calling for fly balls, backing up teammates, and cheering each other on.
